The FKGL32175 – Federal Pioneer 3P175A 240V 65kA Breaker is a robust and reliable circuit breaker designed for three-phase applications. With a rated current of 175 amps and a breaking capacity of 65kA, it ensures excellent protection for your electrical systems. Ideal for commercial or industrial use, it meets stringent safety standards.
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.
