Schneider Electric QO260 2-Pole Circuit Breaker

Schneider Electric's Square D QO260 is a 2-pole miniature circuit breaker rated at 60 amps for 120/240‑V AC service (50/60 Hz), designed for plug‑in installation in QO‑series panels. It delivers up to a 10,000‑A interrupting rating (10 kA) and provides thermal‑magnetic overload protection for multiwire branch circuits or high‑current loads, helping prevent short circuits and overloads. This two‑pole device fits standard QO plug‑in enclosures and is intended for residential and light commercial distribution where a 60 A, 2‑pole breaker is required, such as feeding large appliances, air handlers, water heaters, or subpanels. As part of the QO family, the QO260 combines a compact form with reliable protection and straightforward installation in compatible Square D load centers, making it a common choice when a 120/240‑V, 60‑A two‑pole breaker is needed.
