B-LINE KT3175T – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What amperage and frame size is the Eaton Series C KT3175T breaker trip unit?
The KT3175T is a 175 amp, K-frame, three-pole unit in Eaton's Series C molded case breaker line. Frame size matters as much as the amp rating here: a K-frame trip unit only goes into a K-frame breaker, so confirm the frame letter stamped on the breaker you are working with before ordering.
2) Will the KT3175T work on a single-phase two-pole panel?
No. The KT3175T is built as a three-pole unit, so it suits three-phase distribution. For a two-pole single-phase application you need a two-pole K-frame unit instead.
3) Is the KT3175T thermal magnetic or purely electronic trip?
Trip type on the KT3175T is thermal magnetic, meaning overload protection comes from a bimetal element and short circuit protection from a magnetic element. If your spec calls for an adjustable electronic trip with settings for long time, short time, instantaneous and ground fault, this is not that unit.
4) I need to replace an existing 175A K-frame breaker in an Eaton panel. Is KT3175T the right part number?
For an Eaton Series C K-frame three-pole breaker at 175 amps, KT3175T is the matching catalog number. Match on four things when you cross it: series (Series C), frame (K), pole count (3) and amp rating (175). If any of those differ on the breaker coming out, the KT3175T is not a drop-in.
5) What are the dimensions and weight of the Eaton K-frame KT3175T?
It measures 7 inches long, 5.3 inches high and 4.3 inches wide, and weighs 1.85 lb. Use those numbers to check gutter space and door clearance in the enclosure before you mount it.
6) Where do I find the full electrical ratings, like interrupting capacity, for the KT3175T?
Eaton publishes a spec sheet for the KT3175T and it is linked directly from the product information. That document carries the voltage and interrupting ratings, trip curves and mounting details an engineer needs to finish a coordination study.
7) Can I order a single KT3175T, or does it come in a multi-pack?
The KT3175T is sold as a single three-pole unit, one catalog number covering all three poles. You do not order three of them for a three-phase circuit.
