JGA36175 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

JGA36175 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

Meet the Schneider Electric JGA36175 175 Amp 3-Pole Circuit Breaker—a premium industrial-grade protection device engineered to safeguard your electrical distribution system with precision. Built to perform in demanding commercial and industrial environments, this PowerPacT J-Frame breaker delivers reliable 175 A rated current handling at up to 600 V AC, backed by a breaking capacity of 18 kA. With its thermal-magnetic trip mechanism, I-Line mounting convenience, and dual-break rotating contacts, the JGA36175 not only protects against overloads and short-circuits—it helps extend the service life of your setup by reducing peak current stress when faults occur.

Key Features and Benefits

• Thermal-magnetic trip design: Offers consistent protection by combining thermal (overload) and magnetic (short-circuit) response, helping avoid nuisance trips while keeping your system safe.
• I-Line mounting compatibility: Easily installs into standard I-Line panelboards and switchboards, making both installation and future removal faster and more flexible.
• Dual-break rotating contacts: Minimizes peak current during fault events, reducing stress on your buswork and downstream equipment—translating into fewer disruptions and lower maintenance.
• 600 V AC / 18 kA rating: This high capability means the breaker can handle substantial fault current scenarios typical in industrial power distribution, giving you peace of mind under heavy load conditions.
• 3-pole, 175 A configuration: Ideal for large three-phase loads common in commercial or manufacturing settings—giving you strong capacity where it matters most.
