Product FAQs
6 answers
Is the JB3175 interchangeable with the JD3175 or JDB3175?
Yes. The JB3175 is an exact substitute for JD3175 units in compatible panelboards. It has also been succeeded by the newer JDB3175 catalog number, which can be used as a direct replacement.
How do I set the adjustable magnetic trip on the JB3175?
The magnetic trip dial allows you to adjust the instantaneous short-circuit pickup from 5 to 10 times the continuous amp rating. For this 175A breaker, the trip range can be set anywhere between 875A and 1750A to coordinate with downstream devices.
What type of wire connections does the JB3175 support?
The breaker includes feed-thru lug terminals that accept either copper or aluminum conductors. The supported wire gauge range is 4 AWG to 350 kcmil.
What equipment is the JB3175 designed to mount in?
This bolt-on J-frame breaker is engineered specifically for Eaton Pow-R-Line panelboards, legacy Westinghouse panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers.
Can the thermal trip point be adjusted on this breaker?
No. The JB3175 features a fixed thermal element for long-time overload protection at 175A. Only the instantaneous magnetic trip function is adjustable.
Can the JB3175 be used in DC applications?
Yes, this breaker is rated for use in DC circuits up to 250VDC, where it provides an interrupting capacity of 10kA.
