Eaton BW2175 BW Type Circuit Breaker 2 Pole 175 Amp 120 240V

The Eaton BW2175 is a 2-pole BW-type circuit breaker rated for 175 amps, designed for 120/240-volt AC service and intended to provide overcurrent protection in compatible electrical panels. Because it is a two-pole device, it protects two hot conductors simultaneously, making it suitable for larger 120/240 V circuits where higher current protection is required. The BW2175 belongs to Eaton's BW family of circuit breakers and is intended for installation in panels that accept BW-type breakers, ensuring compatibility with Eaton distribution solutions. The 175 A rating defines the maximum continuous operating current for the protected circuit under normal conditions, while the 120/240 V specification indicates the voltage range for which this device is rated, enabling reliable protection for relevant commercial and industrial applications in compatible panels. This model is a straightforward choice when a high-current, two-pole BW breaker is required to safeguard heavy-load branch circuits in equipment racks or service panels.
