CHB260 - 60Amp Circuit Breaker

CHB260 - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

The CHB260 circuit breaker is a 2-pole, 60-amp bolt-on style breaker designed for dependable protection in 120/240VAC electrical distribution systems. Built on the CHB frame platform, this breaker is engineered for proper form, fit, and function within compatible panelboards that require a CHB series device. With a 10kA A.I.C. rating, it is designed to interrupt fault currents safely within its specified rating, helping protect branch circuits, connected equipment, and panel infrastructure. Its bolt-on mounting design provides a secure mechanical and electrical connection to the bus, reducing the risk of loose connections in demanding applications. Constructed for long service life, the CHB260 is a practical replacement solution for maintaining existing electrical systems operating within its rated specifications.
