Eaton sqd-qo260 2P 60A 120/240V Plug-on Circuit Breaker

Product Description

The EATON sqd-qo260 is a 2-pole, 60-amp miniature circuit breaker (MCB) rated for 120/240 VAC service. It operates as a common-trip, standard-type breaker designed for plug-on installation in compatible load centers and panelboards. The breaker accepts copper or aluminum conductors ranging from 8 to 2 AWG via box lug terminals, and carries an interrupting rating of 5/10 kA. Licensed electricians install this breaker during new construction, panel upgrades, or branch-circuit replacement work where a 60-amp, 2-pole position is required.

The sqd-qo260 is suited for residential and light commercial electrical distribution applications. It installs into QO load centers as well as NQ/NQOD panelboards, OEM interiors, and Speed-D switchboard distribution panels. Its plug-on mounting design allows straightforward positioning on the bus bar without additional hardware. This breaker is appropriate for 240-volt branch circuits serving HVAC equipment, water heaters, subpanels, and similar 2-pole loads requiring 60-amp overcurrent protection.

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 and lock out the panel before removing or installing any breaker. Verify conductor sizing matches the circuit load and that the panel bus is rated for plug-on breaker installation. Do not exceed the conductor range of 8 to 2 AWG at the box lug terminals.
