EB3060 - 60Amp Circuit Breaker

EB3060 - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

The EB3060 circuit breaker is a 3-pole, 60-amp thermal-magnetic circuit breaker designed for use in compatible EB-frame electrical distribution systems. Rated for 10kA interrupting capacity at 240VAC, this breaker provides dependable protection against overloads and short circuits in commercial and industrial electrical panels originally manufactured before 1989. Its non-interchangeable trip unit ensures the breaker maintains its calibrated trip characteristics, while the 40°C ambient rating supports reliable operation in standard electrical environments. Built to match the form, fit, and function required for legacy panelboards, the EB3060 includes load terminals for straightforward installation and is designed to integrate properly with existing EB-series equipment where maintaining system compatibility is essential.

Key Features and Benefits
