BJA36060 - 60Amp Circuit Breaker

BJA36060 - 60Amp Circuit Breaker

The Schneider Electric BJA36060 PowerPacT™ B circuit breaker is designed to provide you with a dependable overcurrent and short-circuit protection for commercial, industrial, and institutional power distribution systems. Rated at 60 amps with a 3-pole configuration, this thermal-magnetic molded case circuit breaker combines compact sizing with strong interrupting performance, making it an excellent choice for your panelboards, switchboards, distribution equipment, and feeder applications. Its I-Line mounting design allows for efficient installation while helping maximize available panel space.

Built as part of the trusted PowerPacT B product family, the BJA36060 features dual-break rotating contacts that help reduce peak current during short-circuit events, improving system protection and helping minimize stress on connected electrical equipment. The thermal-magnetic trip unit provides reliable protection against both overload conditions and short circuits, while the integral push-to-trip button allows technicians to manually test breaker operation for maintenance and troubleshooting purposes. With interrupting ratings up to 100 kA at lower voltages and 25 kA at 600Y/347VAC, this breaker delivers consistent protection across a wide range of electrical distribution applications. The breaker is also HACR rated, making it suitable for use in heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems where dependable circuit protection is essential.
