Square D HOM260CP 60A Double Pole Circuit Breaker 240V

Product Description

The Square D HOM260CP is a 60-amp double pole circuit breaker rated for 240 volts, designed for installation in Homeline load centers and compatible panels. It provides overcurrent protection for 240V branch circuits, tripping automatically when current exceeds the rated threshold to protect wiring and connected equipment. This breaker ships in a bulk pack of 5 units, making it a practical choice for electrical contractors stocking inventory or completing multi-circuit panel work. Licensed electricians install this component in residential and light commercial applications where two-pole, 240V branch circuit protection is required under NEC standards.

This breaker is suited for residential and light commercial electrical panels where 240V double pole protection is needed. Typical applications include circuits serving electric dryers, water heaters, HVAC equipment, and other dual-phase 240V loads. The bulk pack of 5 supports panel changeout projects, new construction rough-in, and service upgrade work. Each unit in the pack is an individual 60A double pole breaker ready for installation.

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 the panel at the utility disconnect and verify the absence of voltage before handling any breakers or wiring. Ensure the load center bus bar accepts Homeline-compatible double pole breakers before installation. Do not exceed the breaker ampere rating when sizing branch circuit conductors.
