BE260 - 60Amp, 30mA GFCI Circuit Breaker

BE260   - 60Amp, 30mA GFCI Circuit Breaker

The BE260 circuit breaker is a 60 amp, 2-pole, bolt-on thermal magnetic breaker designed to deliver dependable circuit protection and enhanced safety for commercial and industrial electrical systems. Built on a BLE frame and rated for 10k A.I.C. at 120VAC, the BE260 combines standard overcurrent protection with 30mA Ground Fault Equipment Protection (GFEP)—helping safeguard equipment from damaging ground faults while maintaining reliable system performance. Its bolt-on mounting design ensures a secure connection to compatible panelboards, reducing the risk of loose connections and improving long-term stability. For facility managers, contractors, and maintenance professionals who need consistent protection and code-aligned performance, the BE260 offers a practical, field-proven solution.
