Eaton Corporation BR260 60A Double Pole Circuit Breaker

Product Description

The EATON CORPORATION BR260 is a 60-amp, double-pole interchangeable circuit breaker rated for 120/240-volt residential and light commercial electrical panels. Fullsize at 2 inches wide, it provides overcurrent protection for 240-volt branch circuits such as dryers, ranges, HVAC equipment, and water heaters. The double-pole configuration interrupts both legs of a 240-volt circuit simultaneously on a fault condition. Licensed electricians install this breaker as a new circuit addition or direct replacement in compatible loadcenters. Its interchangeable design supports use across a range of panel configurations that accept the BR-series form factor.

This breaker is suited for residential service panels and light commercial applications where a 60-amp, 240-volt double-pole protective device is required. Typical installations include branch circuits feeding central air conditioning units, electric ranges, subpanels, and other high-draw 240-volt loads. The fullsize, 2-inch width fits standard tandem-capable and full-size breaker slots in BR-series compatible loadcenters. It ships in bulk packaging with individual UPC bar codes, making it practical for electrical supply counters, service trucks, and panel changeout jobs.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize the panel at the utility disconnect or main breaker and verify the bus bars are de-energized with a non-contact voltage tester before handling any breaker or wiring. Seat the breaker firmly onto the bus bar stab and verify the clip is fully engaged before restoring power. Do not exceed the breaker ampacity rating for the connected conductor size as specified in NEC Table 310.16.
