Built for heavy-duty commercial and industrial applications, the 175A FJ-type circuit breaker provides reliable overcurrent and short-circuit protection. It operates on systems up to 600VAC or 250VDC, utilizing non-interchangeable thermal magnetic trip elements for precise long-time and instantaneous response. This 3-pole device mounts into classic Siemens and I-T-E panelboards, specifically FC, CDP, and SB series. When upgrading older infrastructure, it can be substituted with the FD63B175.
