QFP175-2 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker Description
QFP175-2 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker
The QFP175-2 175 amp circuit breaker is meant for jobs where a standard breaker just isn’t enough. It’s a 2-pole breaker rated for 120/240 volt systems and is commonly used on higher-load circuits that need consistent protection. With a 10 kA interrupting rating, it helps shut down fault current before it can damage wiring or connected equipment. This breaker is often used in residential sub-panels, commercial electrical setups, and light industrial environments where higher amperage is normal. It’s a straightforward piece of gear that does what it’s supposed to do without drawing attention to itself.
