KCL34175 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

KCL34175 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

The KCL34175 is a 175-amp, 3-pole Type KCL molded-case circuit breaker for electrical equipment that requires this configuration. If you're replacing a breaker in an existing system, the 175A rating is an obvious place to start, but it's not enough on its own. The KCL34175 measures 4.50"W x 8.00"L x 3.69"D, uses a thermal-magnetic design, and comes with line and load lugs. When those details match the application, the KCL34175 can provide the form, fit, and function needed to keep compatible legacy equipment in service.

Key Features and Benefits

• 175 amps and three poles: A straightforward match for applications specifically requiring this amperage and pole configuration.
• Type KCL construction: The KCL designation provides an important reference point when identifying the correct breaker for existing equipment.
• Thermal-magnetic configuration: Matches applications designed to use this Type of circuit breaker.
• Line and load lugs included: Both are supplied with the breaker, so you can account for the connection arrangement when checking compatibility.
• 60Hz and 40°C rated: Two additional specifications to confirm before selecting a breaker for an application.

Material Compliance and Certifications

No specific material-compliance or certification information was included in the available specifications for the KCL34175. Because of that, certifications or standards such as UL, CSA, RoHS, or REACH should not be assumed.

Where It Works Best

The KCL34175 makes the most sense for compatible legacy electrical systems that specifically require a 175A, 3-pole Type KCL molded-case circuit breaker with the corresponding physical and electrical characteristics.

For replacement work, think of the part number as the starting point rather than the entire compatibility check. Confirm that the equipment requires 175 amps, three-pole, thermal-magnetic configuration, 60Hz operation, and a 40°C rating. The required interrupting capacity must also align with the KCL34175's 65 kA AIC at 480 VAC and 100 kA AIC at 240 VAC ratings.
