UQFPH-M-175 - 175Amp Circuit Breaker

UQFPH-M-175 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

If you’re working with a residential service that needs serious capacity, the UQFPH-M-175 is built to handle it without overcomplicating the job. This is a 175-amp, 2-pole main breaker designed for plug-in installation, making it a practical choice for both replacements and new setups where reliability matters. What sets this breaker apart is its parallel sub-feed capability. The extra load-side tabs give you more flexibility when feeding additional circuits—especially useful in pedestal or multi-distribution applications. Instead of forcing you to use workarounds, it gives you a cleaner, more straightforward way to expand. On the protection side, it uses a thermal magnetic trip system, which means it responds appropriately to both overloads and short circuits. In real-world terms, it helps prevent damage without constant nuisance tripping. Add in a 22kA interrupt rating, and you’ve got a breaker that’s ready to handle fault conditions with confidence. It’s a solid, no-nonsense option when you need dependable performance and a little more flexibility than a standard main breaker offers.
