EQ8693 - 150Amp Circuit Breaker

EQ8693 - 150 Amp Circuit Breaker

If you're working on an existing panel and need a breaker that lines up with what's already there, the EQ8693 is built for that exact purpose. This 150-amp, 2-pole breaker is made to match M2 frame setups, helping you keep your system consistent without reworking the installation. It uses a thermal magnetic trip mechanism to handle both overloads and short circuits in a straightforward, dependable way. Whether it's part of a commercial panel or tied into an HVAC system, it's designed to do its job and keep things running as expected.

It also handles a wide range of conductor sizes, works with both copper and aluminum wiring, and is rated for standard conditions up to 40°C. The construction is solid and intended for long-term use, especially in environments where equipment needs to hold up over time without constant attention.
