Schneider Electric QO260EPD 2-pole 60A Circuit Breaker

Product Description

The SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC QO260EPD is a 2-pole, 60-ampere thermal magnetic miniature circuit breaker with an equipment protector function. Rated at 120/240 VAC at 50/60 Hz, it carries a 10-kiloampere interrupting rating and a 30-milliampere trip sensitivity for equipment protection. The plug-on mounting design is compatible with QO Loadcenter, NQOD Panelboard, and OEM Interior/Speed-D Switchboard Distribution Panel configurations. This breaker is installed by licensed electricians working on residential and light commercial distribution systems. Box lug terminals accept wire sizes from 14 to 6 AWG copper or 12 to 4 AWG aluminum, accommodating a range of branch-circuit wiring configurations.

The QO260EPD is suited for residential loadcenters and commercial panelboards where a double-pole, 60-ampere overcurrent protective device is required with equipment protection capability. Its plug-on design integrates directly into QO Loadcenter and NQOD Panelboard interiors, making it a direct-fit solution for new construction and replacement work. Compatible listed panel types include the QO Loadcenter, NQOD Panelboard, OEM Interior, and Speed-D Switchboard Distribution Panel.
