BQ2C060 - 60Amp Circuit Breaker

BQ2C060 - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

If you’re replacing a 60-amp breaker in a compatible BQ frame panel, the BQ2C060 is built to match the original form, fit, and function your system was designed for. This 2-pole, bolt-on molded case circuit breaker is rated for 120/240VAC applications with a 10kA interrupting capacity, making it suitable for protecting larger branch circuits and equipment loads. It’s HACR rated for use with heating and air conditioning equipment and designed for operation in 40°C environments. The bolt-on connection provides a secure, stable attachment to the panelboard bus, which is especially important in commercial and industrial settings where consistent contact matters. Like other breakers in the BQ frame family, it’s built to last and intended for use in properly matched panelboards.
