A robust solution for industrial facilities, the Square D KA26175AC is a 2-pole, 175-amp MCCB. It employs proven thermal-magnetic technology, combining fixed thermal protection with an adjustable magnetic trip. Designed for Square D I-Line panelboards, it features a plug-on mounting style with a factory-configured A-C phase connection. For facilities planning upgrades, this legacy K-Frame model crosses over to the JGA261752. The unit boasts a 25 kAIC rating at 480VAC and is HACR rated.
What does the "AC" suffix mean in the KA26175AC catalog number?
In Square D I-Line circuit breakers, the "AC" suffix indicates the factory-configured phase connection. This 2-pole breaker is designed to connect specifically to the A and C phases on the panelboard bus.
Can this 2-pole breaker be installed in a 3-phase I-Line panelboard?
Yes. While the KA26175AC is a 2-pole breaker, it is fully compatible with 3-phase Square D I-Line panelboards and switchboards. It will draw power from two of the three available phases, which are the A and C phases.
Is the Square D KA frame still in active production?
The KA frame is a legacy K-Frame product. While it is still sourced for direct replacements in existing I-Line panels, Square D has transitioned to the PowerPact J-Frame, such as the JGA261752, for modern 175A applications.
What wire sizes are accepted by the lugs on the KA26175AC?
The standard load-side lugs accept 4 AWG through 350 kcmil aluminum or copper conductors.
How does the adjustable magnetic trip function work on this breaker?
The KA26175AC features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with a fixed thermal element for overload protection and an adjustable magnetic element for short-circuit protection. The magnetic trip threshold can be adjusted to coordinate with downstream loads and prevent nuisance tripping.
Does the KA26175AC provide ground fault or arc fault protection?
No. This is a standard thermal-magnetic circuit breaker designed strictly for overload and short-circuit protection. It does not include GFCI or AFCI capabilities.
How does the I-Line plug-in connection work?
The I-Line mounting style features factory-set plug-in jaws that attach directly onto the bus stack of the panelboard. The breaker is then secured in place with a retaining screw, which eliminates the need to manually assemble connectors to the bus bar.

Multiple orders
I have purchased multiple breakers (of fairly large size) from SuperBreakers and their pricing has been excellent and the delivery time spot on. I would highly recommend them

Order Messed Up - Breaker Great
I have ordered many breakers through SuperBreakers with no issues until this order. I ordered this breaker and it wasn't shipped. I sent a message and was told that a mistake was make in shipping and that they would next day air the breaker to me. 5 days later (weekend in there) the breaker arrived. Not next day air, but shit happens. Sent the breaker still in the box out with my electrician and received a call from him that the breaker that was sent was a KAL36100 not the KA36100. I reached out to SuperBreakers and was told the correct breaker would be next day aired that day and I was emailed a shipping label to send back the incorrect one. This time it arrived the next day and was installed. This error cost my customer a couple days with out power to a dimmer cabinet and about 2 extra hours of labor, but all was okay in the end. Mistakes happen. The help and quick responses to my emails I received from Mike David showed me enough about this company. I look forward to my next order. Thank you for working this situation out in timely manor.

Worked As Planned
They had what we needed to match existing equipment, they shipped the same day and we put it right into service, no problems from first phone call to delivery and install.
