Schneider Electric QO260 Mini Circuit Breaker 60A 2 Pole 120/240V AC 10kA Plug-In Mount

Description

Features

• The Schneider Square D QO260 is a two-pole circuit breaker rated at 60 Amps and 120/240V AC. It is a heavy-duty power solution typically used for the largest residential and commercial loads, such as sub-panel feeds, large electric furnaces, high-capacity tankless water heaters, and heavy-duty industrial machinery.
• As part of the premium QO (Square D) family, the QO260 features a compact 3/4-inch width per pole (1.5 inches total). It is built to higher industrial-grade standards than "economy" breakers, offering superior durability, better heat dissipation, and a more robust internal mechanism designed for decades of reliable service.
• A standout feature of the QO260 is the Visi-TripTM red indicator. If the breaker trips due to an overload or short circuit, a highly visible red mechanical flag appears in a window on the breaker face. This eliminates the guesswork of trying to determine if a handle is "tripped" or simply "off," allowing for faster and safer troubleshooting.
• The QO260 utilizes the industry-standard QO plug-on mounting system. It snaps directly onto the bus bar of any Square D QO load center or NQ panelboard. The "jaw" design creates a high-pressure, gas-tight electrical contact that prevents the arcing and terminal loosening that can lead to panel failure in high-amperage 60A circuits.
• This breaker provides a dual-layer defense. The thermal element protects against sustained overloads (drawing too much power over time), while the magnetic element provides instantaneous protection against high-energy short circuits with a 10kA interrupting rating (AIR), cutting power in milliseconds to prevent electrical fires.
