Abb TQ2160 Tqo 2-pole 60A Residential Circuit Breaker

Product Description

The ABB TQ2160 is a TQO-series 2-pole plug-in circuit breaker designed for residential electrical panels. It provides overcurrent and short-circuit protection for 240-volt branch circuits in load centers that accept plug-in style breakers. Rated at 60 amps, this breaker is a standard replacement or new-installation component used by licensed electricians working in single-family homes, apartments, and light residential applications. The plug-in design allows for straightforward installation in compatible load centers without the need for lugs or additional hardware.

This breaker is suited for residential load centers requiring 2-pole, plug-in format protection. Typical applications include circuits serving electric water heaters, HVAC equipment, dryers, ranges, and other 240-volt residential loads. It is intended for installation in new construction panels and as a direct replacement in existing residential distribution equipment that accepts TQO-series plug-in breakers.
