Eaton BR260 Type BR 60 Amp 2-Pole Plug-On Circuit Breaker 120/240V

The Eaton BR260 is a 60 amp, two-pole Type BR plug-on thermal-magnetic circuit breaker (also called a double pole breaker). It protects branch circuit wiring from overloads and short circuits in Eaton Type BR load centers. It is rated for 120/240 V AC service.

Key Features:

• 60 A rating, two-pole design, 120/240 V AC, single phase
• 10 kAIC interrupt rating
• Thermal-magnetic trip with a common trip mechanism, so both poles trip together
• 1-inch-per-pole plug-on mounting that fits onto the bus in Type BR panels
• Accepts #8 to 1/0 AWG Cu/Al wire
• The handle moves to a center position when the breaker trips, so a trip is easy to identify
• UL Listed
• Approximate dimensions: 3 in L x 2 in W x 3 in H

Typical uses are 240 V residential and light commercial loads such as electric ranges, heat pumps and subpanel feeds. Match the amp rating and wire size to the circuit design. It is also known by the legacy Cutler-Hammer part number C260.
