NE221060 - 60Amp Circuit Breaker

NE221060 - 60Amp Circuit Breaker

The NE221060 60 Amp circuit breaker is a bolt-on, thermal magnetic molded case circuit breaker built to deliver dependable circuit protection in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical systems. Designed with a two-pole configuration, this breaker helps protect 120/240VAC applications from both overloads and short circuits. Its thermal magnetic trip mechanism combines inverse-time thermal protection for sustained overload conditions with instantaneous magnetic protection for short-circuit events. The result is fast, reliable interruption when it matters most—helping safeguard wiring, connected equipment, and overall system integrity.

Key Features and Benefits
