Derate Siemens Panel

[ING23]

This Panel originally came with 200A main breaker is a Siemens MC2040B1200EFC . I am looking for a 175A Main breaker but I am having a hard time with this 4 pole Breaker label EQ9985 equivalent to 200A. Any one knows , if exist , a 4 pole 175A main breaker for this panel?

That's actually a 2-pole circuit breaker not a 4-pole. If you search for a 2-pole, 175 amp you might find one. Here's one example.

My only concern with this EQ9684 is the label

What's your concern? That the part number for a 175A breaker is not the same as the part number for a 200A breaker? What were you expecting?

I only used that breaker as an example and didn't check if it was compatible. My point was search for a 2-pole breaker not a 4-pole.

If your parts counter guys don't know then try going to Siemens directly. They have been able to answer some of my questions via email.
It does look like you may be out of luck as the panel label only shows EQ9985 and that always is a 200. Maybe there is a special order version but I don't see it in any catalog.

I would think a MBK175 aka the aforementioned EQ9684 is what you need.
