CAH3175 - 175Amp Circuit Breaker

CAH3175 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

The CAH3175 molded case circuit breaker is a 3-pole, 175 amp breaker designed for dependable circuit protection in commercial and industrial power distribution systems. Built on the CAH frame platform, this breaker features a non-interchangeable trip unit calibrated for 40°C operation and provides an interrupting capacity of 22kA at 240VAC. It is engineered as a direct form-fit-function replacement within compatible CAH frame applications, making it well-suited for maintaining or servicing existing electrical infrastructure. With included line and load-side lugs, the CAH3175 is ready for proper installation in approved panelboards and distribution equipment where its ratings match system requirements. Designed for durability and consistent protection, this molded case circuit breaker helps safeguard conductors and equipment from overloads and short circuits in demanding environments.
