Product FAQs
6 answersWhich enclosures and metering centers accept the CAH2175 breaker?
This unit-mount molded case circuit breaker is specifically designed for installation in Eaton and Cutler-Hammer Metering Stacks, Group Metering applications, and Type ECC enclosures.
How does the CAH2175 differ from the standard CA2175 breaker?
The CAH2175 features a high interrupting capacity of 22kAIC at 240VAC. The standard CA2175 shares the same physical C-Frame footprint but is only rated for a 10kAIC fault current.
What is the modern Eaton replacement for the legacy CAH2175?
For facility managers maintaining older electrical systems, the legacy CAH2175 C-Frame breaker is officially replaced by the Eaton CCVH2175 model.
What are the wiring requirements for the CAH2175 lugs?
The factory-installed feed-thru lugs accept either copper or aluminum conductors ranging from 6 AWG to 350 kcmil. Always verify local codes and apply the correct torque when terminating cables in metering stacks.
Does the CAH2175 plug directly onto a panelboard bus?
No, the CAH2175 is a unit-mount, feed-thru circuit breaker. It bolts into place and utilizes line and load lugs for hardwired connections rather than plugging onto a bus bar.
Can the CAH2175 be used as a main tenant disconnect?
Yes, this 175A breaker is frequently utilized as a main tenant disconnect in Cutler-Hammer group metering stacks, provided the available fault current does not exceed its maximum 22kAIC rating.
