UQFPH-175 - 175Amp Circuit Breaker

UQFPH-175 - 175Amp Circuit Breaker

The UQFPH-175 delivers reliable circuit protection for metering accessory applications that require a 175 amp, 2-pole breaker. It operates at 240 volts and carries a 22,000 AIC interrupt rating, which helps protect electrical systems from higher fault currents. Installers often choose this breaker for its plug-on design, which speeds up installation and provides a secure connection once seated. The breaker responds quickly to overloads and short circuits through its thermal magnetic trip mechanism, helping reduce the risk of damage to connected equipment.

This unit uses a non-metallic housing that keeps weight down and makes handling easier during installation. It fits well in space-conscious enclosures and performs consistently in both residential and commercial settings. When you need a straightforward breaker that does its job without extra complications, this model checks the right boxes.
