Q2M2175MT - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

Q2M2175MT - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you're replacing a breaker in existing equipment, the small details can be just as important as the amp rating. The Q2M2175MT is a 175-amp, 2-pole thermal-magnetic circuit breaker designed for compatible applications that use the Q2MT configuration. It is rated 10 kAat at 120/240 VAC and has a non-interchangeable trip unit. Connection points are worth noting on this breaker: you'll find lug terminals on the line side and 1/4-20-inch studs on the load side. The breaker measures approximately 6.5 inches high, 3 inches wide, and 3.13 inches deep. For maintenance and replacement work involving legacy electrical equipment, those physical and connection details can make a big difference. The Q2M2175MT is built to last and is intended for situations where the goal is to straightforwardly match the required breaker as closely as possible in form, fit, ratings, connections, and function.

Key Features and Benefits

• 175 amp rating for applications designed around this specific amperage.
• Two-pole configuration for compatible electrical equipment.

Material Compliance and Certifications

• Specific material compliance information and third-party certifications were not provided in the available Q2M2175MT specifications. UL, CSA, RoHS, or other certifications should not be assumed without supporting documentation. If a particular listing or certification is required for the application, check the markings on the breaker and applicable equipment documentation before installation.

Where It Works Best

• The Q2M2175MT 175A circuit breaker is primarily suited for compatible legacy electrical distribution equipment that requires a Q2MT-style, two-pole thermal-magnetic breaker. It's a sensible fit for repair and maintenance situations where the existing installation must remain within its original electrical and physical requirements.
