Built to handle demanding electrical loads, this 175-amp, three-pole molded case breaker provides essential long-time and instantaneous protection. The thermal-magnetic trip mechanism ensures reliable operation across diverse commercial environments. It mounts securely into legacy I-T-E F-Frame panelboards, as well as modern Siemens P1, P2, and P3 load centers. Facility managers often utilize this model to maintain existing infrastructure.
Which panelboards are compatible with the FJ63B175 circuit breaker?
This bolt-on breaker is designed for use in modern Siemens P1, P2, and P3 panelboards, SB switchboards, and legacy I-T-E F-Frame panelboards.
What wire sizes and materials are accepted by the lugs on the FJ63B175?
The load-side lugs accept 6 AWG to 350 kcmil wire and are dual-rated for both copper and aluminum conductors.
How does the trip unit function on the FJ63B175?
