Siemens Industry, Inc. QP260 Plug-In Circuit Breaker

Siemens QP260 is a 60 A, 2-pole plug-in circuit breaker in the QP family, designed for 120/240 V AC service in Siemens panels that accept QP-type devices. It provides thermal-magnetic protection with a standard (non-AFCI/GFCI) trip characteristic and a 240 V operating rating, along with a 10 kA interrupting capacity at 240 V, making it suitable for typical distribution circuits that may experience short-circuit currents in the kiloamp range. The 2-pole, common-trip design disconnects both conductors simultaneously, simplifying wiring and ensuring that multi-wire branch circuits are properly de-energized. This QP260 unit is manufactured by Siemens Industry, Inc. and is UL-listed for general residential and light commercial distribution use. As a plug-in breaker, it is intended for use in compatible Siemens load centers and panels that specify QP-type protection, offering a robust solution for protecting circuits up to and including 60 A at 240 V. Whether used as a replacement for older breakers or as part of a new installation, the QP260 provides reliable protection with straightforward installation and compatibility within the Siemens QP ecosystem.
