Product FAQs

6 answers
How many panel spaces does the Eaton BJ3175 require?

This 3-pole breaker requires a total of 6 panel spaces. It mounts across the panel, occupying three 1-inch spaces on the left side and three 1-inch spaces on the right side of the bus.

What load centers accept the BJ3175 circuit breaker?

It is compatible with Eaton Type BR load centers rated for at least 150 amps. It also fits legacy Westinghouse and Bryant panels designed to accept Type BJ breakers.

Can the Eaton BJ3175 replace older Bryant or Westinghouse models?

Yes, Eaton produces the BJ3175 as a direct replacement for the legacy Bryant BJ3175 and Westinghouse BJ3175 circuit breakers.

What is the difference between Eaton Type BR and Type BJ circuit breakers?

Standard BR breakers occupy one space per pole. Type BJ breakers are wider and require two spaces per pole across the panel bus. BJ breakers are typically used as main breakers or high-amperage branch feeders.

Do I need a hold-down kit to install the BJ3175?

If you are installing the BJ3175 as a back-fed main breaker, the National Electrical Code requires a separate hold-down kit to secure the breaker to the panel bus.

Can the BJ3175 be used as a main breaker?

Yes, Type BJ breakers are commonly used as replacement main circuit breakers in older panels or as large branch feeders in current Type BR load centers.
