Maintaining original panelboard configurations is simple with the Siemens HJ3B175. This 175A, 3-pole legacy MCCB provides thermal-magnetic protection for commercial and industrial electrical systems. It installs into Siemens P4 and P5 switchboards as an exact match for aging infrastructure. Choosing this original HJ frame avoids the extra cost and labor of installing adapter kits required by the HFD63B175 substitute.
