QBHW1060 - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

QBHW1060 - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

If you're looking for a QBHW1060 circuit breaker, getting the details right matters. This is a 60-amp, 1-pole QBHW Quicklag breaker with a bolt-on connection and thermal-magnetic protection. It is rated at 22 kA at 120 VAC and is designed to protect compatible electrical circuits against overload and short-circuit conditions.

The QBHW1060 is also HACR-rated, so it can be used in compatible heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration applications where an HACR-rated breaker is required. Its bolt-on design provides a secure connection to electrical equipment made to accept this breaker type. At only 1 inch wide, it's fairly compact, measuring 3.41 inches high and 2.92 inches deep.

For anyone replacing an existing breaker, the QBHW1060 part number is only one piece of the puzzle. It's worth checking the amperage, number of poles, voltage, A.I.C. rating, dimensions, and mounting style too. Breakers can look very similar from the outside while having important electrical or mechanical differences.

Key Features and Benefits

• 60 amp rating for compatible 60A circuit applications.
• Single-pole design for equipment requiring a 1-pole breaker.
• 22 kA A.I.C. at 120VAC provides a 22,000-amp interrupting rating at the specified voltage.
• Thermal-magnetic trip protection responds to overloads as well as short-circuit conditions.
• Bolt-on connection provides secure mounting in compatible electrical equipment.
• HACR rated for compatible heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration applications where this rating is specified.
• 40°C rating for the specified operating conditions.
• 1-inch width keeps the breaker relatively compact.

Certification, compliance, and application requirements should always be checked against the markings on the individual breaker and the specifications for the equipment where it will be installed.

Where It Works Best

• The QBHW1060 makes sense when the application specifically calls for a 60-amp, single-pole QBHW bolt-on circuit breaker with thermal-magnetic protection. That can include compatible commercial and industrial electrical distribution equipment as well as certain HVAC and refrigeration applications.
