QOU260 - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

QOU260 - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

Some electrical installations need more flexibility than a standard plug-on circuit breaker provides. The Square D QOU260 60 Amp 2-Pole Circuit Breaker is designed for those situations, offering overcurrent protection for compatible residential and commercial electrical equipment. Its unit-mount design lets you install it on a DIN rail, on a surface, or flush-mounted with the appropriate mounting accessories.

The QOU260 also features Square D's VisiTrip indicator, which makes a tripped breaker easier to identify. Instead of checking every circuit breaker to find the source of an interruption, you get a visible indication of which breaker has tripped.

Key Features and Benefits

• 60-Amp, Two-Pole Design: Provides overcurrent protection for compatible circuits requiring a 60A, two-pole breaker.
• Thermal-Magnetic Protection: Responds to overloads and short circuits, helping protect electrical wiring and connected equipment from excessive current.
• VisiTrip Indicator: Provides a visible indication when the breaker trips, making troubleshooting and circuit identification easier.
• Copper and Aluminum Connections: Slotted box lugs on both the line and load sides accommodate approved conductors ranging from 14 AWG to 2 AWG.
