QGP22175TM - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

QGP22175TM - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you're working with higher amperage systems, you don't want surprises. The QGP22175TM 175A 2-pole circuit breaker is built to handle serious electrical loads while helping protect your equipment from overloads and short circuits. It uses a thermal magnetic trip system, so it reacts the way you'd expect—steady response to overloads and fast action when there's a fault. The non-interchangeable trip unit keeps things simple and consistent. Once it's in place, there's no guesswork about settings being changed or mismatched. On the install side, it's pretty straightforward. You've got 1/4-20" studs on the line side and lug terminals on the load side, which gives you a secure connection without fighting the hardware. And with a 65 kA interrupting rating at 240 VAC, it's suitable for setups where available fault current is on the higher side. This is the kind of breaker that does its job quietly in the background—exactly what you want in a critical system.
