EATON BJ2175 Main Circuit Breaker, 120/240 VAC, 175A, 10 kA Interrupt, 2P

Eaton BJ2175 plug-on circuit breaker is designed for one & three-phase load centres having current ratings of 150A and above.

Features:

• It features a common trip that shuts off several circuits at once, thereby protecting the appliance from potential hazards due to overcurrent.
• The dual-pole design provides a standard current flow of 175A and interrupting rating of 10kAIC at 120 / 240VAC.
• It features plug-on mounting to permit direct connection to the neutral bar, eliminating the need for a pigtail connection.
• This unit can accommodate #2 AWG to 300 kcmil copper / aluminium wiring.

Standards and Approvals:

• UL 489

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is a circuit breaker?

A. Eaton circuit breaker is designed to close the circuit by a tripping mechanism when an overload condition occurs. Unlike fusible switches, these circuit breakers can be manually turned ON by a toggle.

Q. What is a plug-in circuit breaker?

A. Eaton plug-in circuit breaker allows rapid connection / disconnection of circuit breakers from their counterpart boards. This mounting style also ensures rapid replacement without having to touch the wiring connections on the base, thus protecting from potential hazards.

Q. What is interrupting rating?

A. Interrupting rating of a protective device is defined as the highest current (at rated voltage) that the device can safely interrupt when reacting to faulty currents. These devices could get damaged beyond the rated limit.
