MPP2175 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

MPP2175 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you're replacing a breaker in existing electrical equipment, matching the catalog number and electrical characteristics matters more than finding something that looks similar. The MPP2175 is identified as a 175A, 4-pole, 120/240V Type MPP main circuit breaker with a 10K interrupt rating. It was designed for circuit protection in electrical distribution equipment where this specific MPP configuration and physical fit are required. The supplied technical information also associates this catalog number with a plug-in connection, thermal-magnetic overload release, Marine 50C feature, and UL 489 standard.

Key Features and Benefits

• The 175A product designation provides the primary amperage reference for the MPP2175; a separate classification entry lists 25A, so verify the actual rating before use.
• 4-pole configuration for electrical equipment specifically requiring four-pole circuit protection.
• 120/240V rating with the classification data further identifying 120V phase-to-ground and 240V phase-to-phase.
• The main product information specifies Type MPP, providing an important reference when matching existing equipment.
• Thermal-magnetic overload release is identified in the detailed classification data.
• Plug-in electrical connection provides another key form-and-fit characteristic to check against the existing installation.
• Marine 50C special feature is identified in the supplied classification information.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The detailed product information identifies UL 489 as the standard associated with the MPP2175. The supplied information does not state any separate CSA or additional third-party certification, so those certifications should not be assumed.

Where It Works Best

The MPP2175 circuit breaker is relevant to existing and legacy electrical distribution equipment that specifically calls for the MPP2175 catalog number or requires its corresponding 4-pole, 120/240V configuration and physical form factor. For replacement work, check more than amperage alone. Pole count, voltage, interrupting capacity, connection style, trip characteristics, dimensions, and equipment compatibility must match the original installation.
