Westinghouse 632249R Circuit Breaker 2 Pole 60 Amp

Product Description

The WESTINGHOUSE 632249R is a 2-pole, 60-amp circuit breaker designed for use in indoor air handler heater kits. It provides overcurrent protection within the heater circuit, interrupting power when current exceeds the rated threshold to protect downstream components and wiring. This breaker is installed inside the air handler unit as part of the electric heat package, not in the main electrical panel. Licensed electricians and HVAC technicians typically handle installation in new electric heat kit builds or as a direct replacement during service calls.

This circuit breaker is specified for use with H6HK standard and variable speed indoor air handler heater kits. It is suited for residential electric forced-air heating applications where an air handler is paired with an electric heat strip package. The 60-amp, 2-pole configuration handles the high-amperage draw typical of electric resistance heating elements in these kit assemblies.

Key Features

• 60-amp rating handles high-current electric heat strip loads
• 2-pole design interrupts both legs of a 240-volt circuit simultaneously
• Designed for installation inside air handler heater kit enclosures
• Compatible with both standard and variable speed air handler configurations
• OEM-specified replacement for H6HK heater kit applications

Compatibility

Specified for use with H6HK standard and variable speed indoor air handler heater kits.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. Shut off all power to the air handler and verify with a meter that circuits are de-energized before accessing the heater kit compartment. Do not exceed the breaker's rated amperage by installing oversized heating elements. Confirm the replacement breaker matches the original pole count and amperage rating before reinstalling the heater kit cover.
