Built for heavy-duty power distribution, this 3-pole, 175A PowerPact Q-Frame breaker provides reliable long-time and instantaneous (LI) protection for 240VAC systems. The unit-mount design allows for straightforward installation into NQ panelboards, NQOD panelboards, and switchboards. It is an exact substitute for the legacy Q2M3175MT. The "TN" catalog suffix denotes factory-installed load-side studs. With a 10kAIC capacity, this 80% rated breaker includes a push-to-trip mechanism.
