The FKGL32175 is a Federal Pioneer FKGL-frame moulded-case circuit breaker (MCCB) rated 175 A, 3-pole, 240 V, 65 kA with a bolt-on mounting configuration. As an MCCB, it is designed for installation in commercial and industrial panelboards and switchboards that accept FKGL-frame bolt-on breakers — it is not intended for residential loadcentres. Its 65 kA interrupting rating makes it well suited to higher-fault-current distribution environments.
Mounting compatibility depends on the specific panelboard or switchboard enclosure accepting the FKGL bolt-on frame. Send us your panelboard model and we'll confirm fit.
The FKGL is a Federal Pioneer moulded-case breaker frame rated for higher-ampacity commercial and industrial applications. Federal Pioneer's product line was absorbed into Schneider Electric / Square D, and many FKGL-frame breakers are now considered obsolete or hard-to-find. Northern Breaker Group specialises in sourcing exactly these types of discontinued breakers — contact us for current availability.
Yes — depending on your panelboard's configuration, the FKGL32175 (175 A, 3P, 65 kA) can serve as either a main disconnect breaker or a large-capacity branch/feeder breaker in an appropriately rated commercial or industrial panelboard. Always verify the panelboard's maximum main breaker rating and busbar capacity before installation, and consult a licensed electrician to ensure compliance with the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC).
Potential cross-references exist within the Schneider Electric / Square D line (given Federal Pioneer's integration into that family), but any substitute must match the 175 A rating, 3-pole configuration, 240 V voltage rating, 65 kA interrupting capacity, and bolt-on mounting footprint exactly. Northern Breaker Group can evaluate compatible replacements and verify fit for your specific application — reach out to our team with your panelboard details.
