QDA32175 - 175 Amp Circuit Brearker

QDA32175 - 175 Amp Circuit Brearker

If your panel calls for a QDA32175, matching the correct electrical ratings and mounting style is most important. This model is a 175-amp, 3-pole Q-Frame molded-case circuit breaker with an I-Line plug-on connection and a thermal-magnetic trip unit. It carries a 25 kA interrupting rating at 240 VAC, making it suitable for protecting three-phase electrical circuits in compatible distribution equipment. The thermal element reacts to overload conditions that develop over time, while the magnetic portion trips almost instantly when a short circuit occurs. Together, they help protect conductors and connected equipment without adding unnecessary complexity. Because this breaker uses the I-Line plug-on design, it installs in compatible panelboards built for that mounting style. Rather than trying to fit every application, the QDA32175 is intended for situations where its electrical ratings, frame size, and configuration match the existing system. Confirming compatibility with the panel and required specifications is always recommended before installation.
