MP260 - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

MP260 - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

The MP260 circuit breaker delivers dependable, everyday protection for residential electrical systems. Designed for homeowners and contractors who want safe, consistent performance, this breaker combines a compact build with trusted thermal‑magnetic technology — safeguarding your home’s wiring, appliances, and HVAC equipment from overloads or short circuits without unnecessary complexity.

Key Features and Benefits

• Dual‑Pole Protection: This 2‑pole design ensures both hot lines are monitored and disconnected when needed. That means better safety for 120/240 V circuits — ideal for whole‑home protection or heavy‑duty appliances.
• Thermal‑Magnetic Trip Mechanism: The MP260 uses both heat-based and magnetic triggers so it responds accurately to different types of faults — whether slow overloads or sudden surges.
• Flexible Usage: Compatible with 125 Amp and 225 Amp single‑phase WMM, WML, or WMT meter stacks. It adapts to a variety of standard residential wiring configurations.
• HACR-Rated for HVAC and Refrigeration: Meets standards for use with Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration systems — so you can safely protect your HVAC load.
• Compact & Easy to Install: Weighing just 0.617 lb with a slim, space‑saving profile, the MP260 installs smoothly in standard load centers. Its size and design make retrofits or new installs easier for electricians and DIYers alike.
