EQ9684 - 175Amp Circuit Breaker

EQ9684 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

If you’re working with heavier electrical loads, you don’t want to second-guess your main breaker. The EQ9684 is built for exactly that kind of job—steady performance, solid protection, and a design that fits right into place without a fight.This is a 175 amp, 2-pole main breaker with a thermal magnetic trip, so it handles both everyday overloads and sudden short circuits the way it should—no drama, no guesswork. With a 22kA interrupting rating at 240VAC, it’s ready for higher fault conditions often found in commercial or industrial setups.

What makes it especially practical is the plug-in style. It goes in clean, which matters when you’re trying to get a job done efficiently. It’s built on the EQ69 frame and takes up four single-pole spaces, so you’re getting serious capacity without overcomplicating your panel layout.
