Wesco CH260 Double Pole Circuit Breaker 60 Amps

Product Description

The WESCO CH260 is a double pole circuit breaker rated at 60 amps, designed to provide overcurrent protection in residential and light commercial electrical panels. Double pole breakers protect two-wire, 240-volt branch circuits by tripping both poles simultaneously when a fault or overload condition is detected. The CH260 is a standard load center breaker format intended for installation by licensed electricians in compatible panelboards.

The CH260 is suited for 240-volt branch circuit applications including electric water heaters, HVAC equipment, electric dryers, and similar double-pole loads. It installs in compatible load centers and panelboards that accept CH-style breakers. This breaker is appropriate for both new construction panel builds and service or replacement work in existing installations.

Key Features

• Double pole configuration protects 240-volt branch circuits
• 60-amp continuous current rating suitable for high-draw appliances and HVAC equipment
• Simultaneous trip on both poles upon fault detection
• Standard CH-style form factor for compatible load center installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation double pole breaker for residential and light commercial panelboards accepting CH-style circuit breakers.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize the panel and verify absence of voltage before handling any breaker or bus bar connections. Ensure the panelboard is rated to accept the CH260 breaker style before installation. Do not exceed the panel's total breaker slot or ampacity limits.
