BR360 - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

BR360 - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

If you're working with a compatible Eaton Type BR loadcenter and need a 60 Amp, 3-pole breaker, the BR360 is designed for that application. This thermal-magnetic circuit breaker is commonly used on three-phase circuits serving HVAC equipment, pumps, compressors, motors, machinery, and other larger electrical loads that require 60 Amp protection.

The BR360 protects against both overloads and short circuits through its thermal-magnetic trip mechanism. Its common-trip design means all three poles open together when a fault occurs, which is important in many three-phase installations. The plug-on construction allows the breaker to install directly into approved Eaton Type BR loadcenters, making it a common replacement choice for existing panels as well as new installations.

Rated for 240V AC systems, the BR360 carries a 10 kAIC interrupting rating and accepts #4–1/0 AWG copper or aluminum conductors. You'll often find this breaker in commercial buildings, workshops, agricultural facilities, mechanical rooms, and industrial environments where three-phase power distribution is used. For most electricians and maintenance teams, selecting the BR360 comes down to matching the panel series, amperage rating, and pole configuration already specified for the equipment or circuit.

Where It Works Best

• The Eaton BR360 is commonly installed in commercial buildings, manufacturing facilities, agricultural operations, workshops, mechanical rooms, and larger residential systems where three-phase circuit protection is required. You'll often see it protecting HVAC equipment, pumps, compressors, motor-driven machinery, control panels, and other electrical loads that require a 60 Amp, 3-pole breaker. It is also frequently used when replacing an existing breaker in a compatible Eaton Type BR loadcenter.
