Mars mars-83228 60 Amp 2-pole Ite Circuit Breaker

Product Description

The MARS mars-83228 is a 60-amp, 2-pole ITE-style circuit breaker designed for use in residential and light commercial electrical panels. It provides overcurrent protection by automatically interrupting the circuit when current exceeds its rated threshold, protecting wiring and connected equipment from damage. The Q260 designation identifies it as a standard loadcenter-style breaker compatible with ITE and related panel families. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors are the primary installers of this component during new construction, panel upgrades, and service replacements.

This breaker is suited for 240-volt, double-pole branch circuit applications such as HVAC equipment, water heaters, dryers, and subpanels in residential and light commercial settings. Its 60-amp rating covers common high-draw loads that require a dedicated two-pole overcurrent device. The Q260 form factor is a widely recognized configuration in the industry for panel replacement and upgrade work.
