QOU360 - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

QOU360 - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

Finding the right circuit breaker isn't just about matching the amperage. You also need the correct number of poles, voltage rating, and connections for your equipment. The Square D QOU360 60 Amp 3-Pole Circuit Breaker brings those requirements together in a compact, unit-mounted design. Made by Schneider Electric as part of the Square D QOU series, this miniature circuit breaker is rated for 60 amps and provides a 10kA interrupting capacity at 120V AC, 120/240V AC, and 240V AC. It's a practical choice for compatible electrical equipment that needs a three-pole breaker without relying on a conventional plug-on panelboard connection.

Key Features and Benefits

• 60-Amp, Three-Pole Design: Provides circuit protection for compatible electrical systems requiring a 60A, three-pole breaker.
• 10kA AC Interrupting Rating: Rated to interrupt fault currents up to 10,000 amps at its specified AC voltages.
• Unit-Mount Configuration: Designed for installations that require a separately mounted circuit breaker.
• Copper and Aluminum Connections: Slotted box lugs on both sides accommodate approved 14–2 AWG conductors.
• Compact Dimensions: Measures 4.05 inches high, 2.25 inches wide, and 2.95 inches deep for easier equipment-space planning.
• HACR Rated: Suitable for appropriately rated heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration applications.
