Eaton siemens-q260 Double Pole Circuit Breaker 60 Amp

Product Description

The EATON siemens-q260 is a double pole circuit breaker rated at 60 amps, designed to protect branch circuits in residential and light commercial electrical panels. Double pole breakers occupy two adjacent slots in a loadcenter and interrupt power across both legs of a 240-volt circuit simultaneously. This breaker is a standard QP-style unit suited for use by licensed electricians performing panel installations, service upgrades, or branch circuit additions where a 60-amp, two-pole protective device is required.

This breaker is appropriate for 240-volt branch circuits serving equipment such as electric dryers, water heaters, HVAC equipment, subpanels, and other double-pole loads in residential and light commercial applications. It is installed directly into a compatible loadcenter by a licensed electrician during new construction, panel upgrades, or circuit additions.

Key Features

• Double pole configuration interrupts both legs of a 240-volt circuit simultaneously
• 60-amp rating suitable for high-draw residential and light commercial branch circuits
• Standard QP-style form factor for loadcenter installation
• Provides overcurrent and short-circuit protection for connected loads

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement double pole circuit breaker for compatible loadcenters accepting QP-style breakers. Consult the loadcenter manufacturer documentation and the breaker label to confirm fitment before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. Always shut off main panel power and verify the bus is de-energized with a non-contact voltage tester before handling any breaker or wiring. Seat the breaker firmly onto the bus bar and confirm the handle operates freely before restoring power. Do not exceed the breaker ampere rating for the connected circuit conductors.
