JGF36175 - 175Amp Circuit Breaker

JGF36175 - 175Amp Circuit Breaker

The JGF36175 is built around a specific combination of ratings that makes it easier to identify a replacement for your existing distribution equipment. The JGF36175 is built to last and is a practical choice when its 175A rating, busbar construction, J-Frame dimensions, and electrical characteristics line up with the equipment already in service.

Key Features and Benefits

• 175A, three-pole design: Provides the specified current and pole configuration for compatible distribution equipment.
• Busbar line and load connections: Both sides use busbar connections, so this is an important physical compatibility point to verify.
• Thermal-magnetic protection: Provides overload and short-circuit protection using the manufacturer's specified trip technology.
• Defined magnetic characteristics: 1750A magnetic tripping current and 875A magnetic hold current.
• 80% continuous-current rating: Clearly documented for comparison with the requirements of the existing system.
• Integral push-to-trip button: Provides a convenient way to trip the breaker manually.
• HACR rated: HACR classification is included in the manufacturer's specifications.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The JGF36175 is CE marked and carries UL, CSA, and NOM product certifications. Manufacturer-listed standards include UL, CSA, NEMA, NOM-003-SCFI-2000, and IEC 60947-2. The front cover is rated IP40, and the pollution degree is specified as 3 according to IEC 60947-1.

Where It Works Best

The JGF36175 is suited to compatible existing and legacy distribution equipment that requires a 175A, three-pole PowerPacT J-Frame circuit breaker with busbar connections on both the line and load sides. Its 7.5 × 4.09 × 3.4-inch footprint, busbar mounting arrangement, trip characteristics, and voltage-specific interrupting capacities provide useful checkpoints when confirming a replacement.
