E3060 - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

E3060 - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

The E3060 thermal-magnetic circuit breaker is designed to provide dependable overcurrent protection in electrical distribution systems that require a 3-pole, 60-amp breaker rated at 10kA interrupting capacity at 240VAC. Built with a frame type E design and a non-interchangeable trip unit, this breaker helps protect wiring and connected equipment from overloads and short circuits in three-phase power systems. Its thermal-magnetic trip mechanism combines inverse-time thermal protection for sustained overload conditions with instantaneous magnetic protection for short-circuit events. Rated for 40°C operation, the E3060 is commonly used as a form-fit-function replacement in existing panels and switchboards that require this specific frame type and rating. The unit also includes load terminals, helping simplify installation in compatible electrical assemblies. Built with durable internal components typical of legacy industrial electrical equipment, breakers like the E3060 were designed for long service life when installed and maintained correctly.

Key Features and Benefits

• 60 Amp Overcurrent Protection: Designed to protect branch circuits and equipment in three-phase electrical systems.
• 3-Pole Configuration: Suitable for applications requiring simultaneous protection across three phases.
