CA3175 - 175Amp Circuit Breaker Description
CA3175 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker
The CA3175 circuit breaker is a 3-pole, 175-amp molded case circuit breaker designed for dependable overcurrent protection in commercial and industrial electrical distribution systems. Built on a CA frame and calibrated for operation at 40°C, this breaker provides thermal-magnetic protection for branch circuits and feeder applications operating up to 240VAC. With a 10kA A.I.C. rating, it is suited for installations where available fault current does not exceed this interrupting capacity. The unit features a non-interchangeable trip unit and includes both line-side and load-side lugs, making it a direct, form-fit-function replacement for compatible legacy systems. Designed to meet the practical demands of facility maintenance and electrical service professionals, the CA3175 is built to last and maintain safe, consistent circuit protection where it is installed.
Key Features and Benefits
