Challenger C360 Circuit Breaker

Challenger C360 is a three-pole, 60-amp molded‑case circuit breaker from the Challenger Type C family, designed for 120/240 V AC service in residential and light‑commercial panels. This 60 A, 3P device protects three‑phase feeders and motor loads while delivering thermal‑magnetic overload protection with clear long‑time and instantaneous trip characteristics, and it carries a 10 kA interrupting rating at 240 V. The unit uses plug‑in mounting, making replacement straightforward in compatible Challenger panels. In terms of compatibility, the C360 is part of Challenger’s Type C lineup, commonly used in standard distribution panels requiring a 60 A three‑pole breaker for 3‑phase circuits. Typical installations include three‑phase feeders for equipment like HVAC compressors or other 3‑phase machinery, or as a protection device in panels where 3‑phase power is distributed to multiple branch circuits. With its molded‑case construction, it provides rugged protection and predictable tripping behavior, ensuring disconnection during overloads or short circuits up to its 60 A rating.
