Eaton Crouse-hinds Sqd HOM260 60A 2-pole Circuit Breaker

Product Description

The EATON CROUSE-HINDS SQD HOM260 is a 2-pole, 60-amp miniature circuit breaker rated for 120/240 VAC single-phase residential and light commercial applications. It uses thermal-magnetic trip technology with Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) functions to deliver reliable overload and short-circuit protection. The plug-in connection style allows fast installation into compatible Homeline load centers. The clamp terminal accepts one conductor in the range of 8 AWG to 2 AWG copper or aluminum wire. With a 10 kA interrupting capacity at 240 volts, this breaker meets standard HACR rating requirements and is UL Listed.

This breaker is used in residential and light commercial panelboard installations where a 2-pole, 60-amp circuit is required, such as for electric dryers, HVAC equipment, sub-panels, or similar 240-volt branch circuits. It installs directly into Homeline load centers via plug-in mounting. The compact footprint keeps panel real estate efficient. Electricians and panel technicians will find the clamp terminal design straightforward for both new installations and service replacements.
