JDL36175 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

JDL36175 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

The JDL36175 is a 175A, three-pole PowerPacT J-Frame circuit breaker with a clearly defined connection setup: lugs are provided on both the line and load sides, with AL175JD terminals accepting 4 AWG through 4/0 AWG aluminum or copper conductors. The JDL36175 is built to last, and its specific ratings, terminal arrangement, trip characteristics, and dimensions provide practical points to verify when matching it with compatible existing or legacy distribution equipment.

Key Features and Benefits

• 175A, 3-pole J-Frame design: Provides a specific form and electrical configuration for compatible distribution equipment.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: Provides both overload and short-circuit protection.
• Line and load lugs included: Both sides use lug connections, making the connection arrangement easy to verify against the existing installation.
• Aluminum or copper conductor compatibility: AL175JD terminals accept conductors from 4 AWG through 4/0 AWG.
• Integral push-to-trip button: Allows the breaker to be manually tripped from the cover.
• 80% continuous current rating: Provides another defined specification to check when selecting the breaker for an existing system.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The JDL36175 carries a CE quality label and has UL, CSA, and NOM product certifications. The manufacturer also identifies UL, CSA, NEMA, NOM-003-SCFI-2000, and IEC 60947-2 among the applicable standards. Its front cover has an IP40 rating and a pollution degree of 3, as specified in IEC 60947-1.

Where It Works Best

The JDL36175 is intended for compatible distribution equipment that calls for a 175A, three-pole PowerPacT J-Frame circuit breaker with thermal-magnetic protection. The lug connections on both sides are especially relevant when the existing setup requires the stated AL175JD terminal arrangement and a 4 AWG through 4/0 AWG aluminum or copper conductor range.
