QGP22175TM - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

QGP22175TM - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

The QGP22175TM circuit breaker is a high-capacity, 2-pole thermal magnetic breaker engineered to deliver dependable overcurrent protection in demanding 240VAC electrical distribution systems. Rated at 175 amps with an impressive 65kA interrupting capacity, this QGP frame breaker is designed to safeguard equipment and maintain system integrity under high fault conditions. Its non-interchangeable trip unit ensures consistent, factory-calibrated performance, helping reduce the risk of improper adjustments in critical applications. Built with 1/4-20" studs on the line side and lug terminals on the load side, the QGP22175TM offers secure, straightforward connections suited for commercial and industrial power distribution environments where reliability is non-negotiable.

When uptime matters, this breaker provides the confidence of thermal magnetic protection—combining inverse-time overload protection with instantaneous short-circuit response. The result is fast reaction to fault conditions while minimizing nuisance tripping during temporary inrush currents.
