Schneider Electric CHOM260 Homeline Miniature Circuit Breaker, 60A, 2 Pole, 120/240V AC, 10 kA

Description

Features

• The CHOM260 is a 60-Amp, 2-pole Homeline circuit breaker designed to provide simultaneous overcurrent protection for both "hot" legs of a 120/240V AC circuit. It is the standard heavy-duty solution for high-demand residential applications, such as sub-panel feeders, large electric furnaces, or high-capacity EV charging stations.
• Engineered with an internal common-trip mechanism, the CHOM260 ensures that if one leg of the circuit experiences a fault, both poles trip at exactly the same time. This prevents "single-phasing" a dangerous condition where an appliance remains partially energized protecting your expensive motors and heating elements from burnout and reducing the risk of electrical fires.
• This breaker is designed specifically for Square D Homeline (Canadian) load centers. It utilizes a 2-inch wide (two 1-inch spaces) plug-on design for a fast and secure connection to the bus bar. Note: It is not compatible with Square D QO (Blue Label), Siemens, Eaton, or GE panels.
• The CHOM260 features robust box-lug terminals that provide high-torque clamping for both copper and aluminum conductors. Rated for wire sizes up to #2 AWG, these terminals ensure a gas-tight, vibration-resistant connection that maintains electrical integrity even under the high thermal loads associated with 60-Amp service.
• Designed by Schneider Electric, the CHOM260 features a high-speed "Quick-Make, Quick-Break" mechanism. This design minimizes internal arcing during the switching process, which significantly extends the contact life of the breaker and ensures reliable performance over decades of residential use.
