Description
A reliable component for commercial distribution, the Eaton HCA2175 is a 2-pole, 175A molded case circuit breaker. It provides thermal-magnetic protection with fixed long-time and instantaneous trip functions. This panel-mount MCCB installs into legacy Westinghouse CDP and FDP panelboards. It serves as a replacement for older CA-frame units and can be substituted with ED, FD, or HFD models using an adapter kit. Rated for 42kAIC at 240VAC, it includes factory-installed lugs.Specifications
