BF260 - 60Amp Circuit Breaker

BF260 - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

The BF260 circuit breaker is a 2-pole, 60-amp bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed for dependable protection of 120/240VAC electrical systems. Built on the BLF frame platform, this breaker is engineered for proper form, fit, and function in compatible panelboards and distribution equipment. With a 10k A.I.C. interrupting rating at 120/240VAC and HACR certification, the BF260 is well-suited for protecting branch circuits, lighting systems, and HVAC applications. Designed for operation in environments rated up to 40°C, it delivers consistent overcurrent protection while helping maintain electrical system safety and code compliance. If you’re maintaining or servicing existing equipment, the BF260 offers a straightforward solution built to last and intended for reliable long-term use.
