QGA32175 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

QGA32175 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

The QGA32175 is a 175 amp, 3-pole circuit breaker from the trusted PowerPacT Q-Frame series, built for high-performance applications where dependable overcurrent protection is critical. Designed to operate in 240V AC systems, this breaker features a thermal-magnetic trip unit that reacts quickly to overloads and short circuits. It’s built for long-term reliability with a proven mechanical endurance of up to 1,000 full-load operations. I-Line terminations on the line side and mechanical lugs on the load side make installation straightforward and secure. Whether you're working in commercial buildings, industrial plants, or large panelboards, this unit is built to handle demanding electrical environments with confidence.

Key Features and Benefits

• Reliable Overcurrent Protection: Thermal and magnetic sensing components respond quickly to both prolonged overloads and instantaneous faults.
• Handles High Fault Levels: Rated to interrupt up to 65kA at 240V AC—ideal for systems with high available fault current.
• Simple Installation: I-Line connection on the line side and mechanical lugs on the load side reduce setup time.
• Durability You Can Count On: Built for 1,000 full-load operations and 5,000 operations without load.
• Compact and Efficient: Fits easily into standard panelboards, even in tight spaces.
