KA36175 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

KA36175 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

The KA36175 is a 175-amp, three-pole Type KA molded case circuit breaker for compatible I-Line panelboards. Its specifications provide a practical checklist for matching a breaker to your existing or legacy installation: 175A, three-pole, thermal-magnetic operation, 60 Hz, and a 40°C rating. The KA36175 is built to last, with its value centered on maintaining the correct form, fit, electrical ratings, and function in equipment that calls for this specific Type KA configuration.

Key Features and Benefits

• 175A current rating: Provides the specified amperage for compatible installations requiring a 175-amp breaker.
• Three-pole configuration: Matches equipment designed around a three-pole circuit breaker arrangement.
• Type KA: A key identifier to check when sourcing a form, fit, and functional replacement.
• I-Line panelboard application: Specifically identified for use with compatible I-Line panelboards.
• Thermal-magnetic design: Uses the stated thermal-magnetic circuit protection configuration.
• 60 Hz operation: Clearly specified for compatibility checks with the existing electrical system.
• 40°C rated: Provides another important operating specification to compare with installation requirements.

Material Compliance and Certifications

No specific UL, CSA, IEC, RoHS, REACH, or other material compliance or certification information was provided for the KA36175. These listings should not be assumed based on the breaker type or electrical ratings. If a particular certification is required for the installation, verify that it applies to this exact part number.

Where It Works Best

The KA36175 175A circuit breaker is suited to compatible I-Line panelboards in existing and legacy electrical systems where the original installation calls for its Type KA design, three-pole arrangement, thermal-magnetic operation, and stated electrical ratings.

Before installation, compare the complete specification set with the breaker being replaced and the requirements of the panelboard. Pay particular attention to the 175A rating, three poles, Type KA designation, A.I.C. ratings, 60 Hz frequency, 40°C rating, I-Line application, and physical dimensions. This keeps replacement decisions focused on the form, fit, and function required by the existing equipment.
