Part of the Siemens Q-series family, this 175-amp molded case circuit breaker delivers standard 10 kAIC protection for residential electrical systems. The two-pole device employs a fixed thermal-magnetic trip unit to safeguard against overloads and short circuits. Occupying four spaces, it installs into Siemens load centers and is primarily utilized as a main breaker. For newer panel configurations requiring a QN frame mounting, this model has been replaced by the QN2175.
What type of load centers accept the Siemens Q2175B?
This breaker is designed specifically for use as a main breaker in Siemens load centers and multi-family metering panels that accept Type QPP breakers. It is not intended for use as a standard branch breaker.
Can the Q2175B be installed in non-Siemens electrical panels?
No. This breaker is UL listed exclusively for use in compatible Siemens enclosures. Installing it in panels from other manufacturers violates its UL listing and electrical safety codes.
How many panel spaces does the Q2175B occupy?
This Type QPP main breaker requires four standard 1-inch spaces for installation in a compatible Siemens load center.
Can I use the Q2175B in a panel that requires a QN frame breaker?
No. While the Q2175B is a 175A main breaker, it utilizes a QPP frame. Newer Siemens panel configurations requiring a QN frame mounting must use the QN2175 instead, as the two frame types mount differently.
Does this main breaker include ground-fault or arc-fault protection?
No. The Q2175B features standard thermal-magnetic trip technology for overload and short-circuit protection. It does not provide GFCI or AFCI capabilities.
