Q2L2175 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

Q2L2175 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

Suppose you're replacing a Q2L2175 circuit breaker; getting the details right matters. This is a 175-amp, 2-pole thermal-magnetic circuit breaker for applications requiring the Q2L configuration. It is rated at 10 kA at 120/240 VAC and has a non-interchangeable trip unit. One detail worth noting is the terminal setup: the breaker has lug terminals on both the line and load sides. The Q2L2175 measures approximately 6.5 inches high, 3 inches wide, and 3.13 inches deep, so you can compare the physical dimensions along with the electrical ratings when checking your application. The replacement offered for this part is a newer-style breaker from the same manufacturer, specifically designed to replace the Q2L2175. That makes it a useful choice for compatible legacy equipment where maintaining the correct form, fit, ratings, and function is important. It's a straightforward replacement solution, built to last and intended to do the job it was designed for.

Key Features and Benefits

• 175-amp rating for equipment designed around the Q2L2175 specifications.
• 2-pole design for compatible 120/240VAC applications.
• Thermal-magnetic trip operation provides overcurrent protection within the breaker's stated ratings.
• Rated 10k AIC at 120/240VAC.
• The non-interchangeable trip unit maintains the required fixed trip configuration.
• Lug terminals on both the line and load sides are an important consideration when matching an existing breaker.
• The replacement breaker is made by the same manufacturer and specifically designed to replace the Q2L2175.
• Built to last when properly installed and operated within its intended ratings.

Material Compliance and Certifications

• Compliance and certification details should be checked against the manufacturer'smanufacturer's documentation and the markings on the actual replacement breaker. Requirements can differ depending on the equipment and installation. If a particular listing, certification, or material-compliance standard is required for your project, confirm that information before the breaker is installed.

Where It Works Best

• The Q2L2175 replacement circuit breaker is intended for compatible legacy electrical equipment that requires the same basic form, fit, function, and electrical characteristics as the original Q2L2175. It is especially relevant when the application calls for a 175A, 2-pole thermal-magnetic breaker rated at 10 kA at 120/240 VAC with lug connections on both the line and load sides.
