Designed for high-capacity environments, the Siemens QJ22B175H functions as a 2-pole, 175A MCCB. It delivers robust protection for demanding systems. Featuring a secure bolt-on design, this QJ frame breaker installs into compatible Siemens panelboards. For future upgrades, this model is replaced by the HQR22B175. The key differentiator is its high interrupting capacity of 42kAIC at 240VAC. It includes fixed thermal-magnetic trip units with LI functions and is HACR rated.
