Engineered for commercial and industrial power distribution, the Square D Q232175 is a 3-pole, 175A molded case circuit breaker. It provides long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions for robust circuit protection. Designed to install into Square D I-Line panelboards, this Q-frame breaker utilizes a plug-on mounting style for secure connections. For modern upgrades or replacements, this legacy unit is superseded by the PowerPact QBA32175.
