BRH260 - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

BRH260 - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

The Eaton BRH260 is a 60 Amp two-pole HACR-rated circuit breaker designed for you to use in compatible Eaton Type BR loadcenters. It is commonly installed on 120/240V circuits serving air-conditioning systems, heat pumps, refrigeration equipment, electric water heaters, compressors, subpanels, and other larger electrical loads.

Its two-pole design provides protection across both legs of a 240-volt circuit, making it suitable for your equipment that requires higher power demands than standard branch circuits. The HACR rating makes it a common choice for heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration applications in residential, commercial, and light industrial environments.

The BRH260 features a plug-on mounting design for installation in compatible Eaton Type BR panels. With a 22 kAIC interrupting rating, it can be used in applications where available fault current levels may exceed the ratings of many standard residential breakers. Electricians commonly use this breaker during panel upgrades, equipment replacements, maintenance work, and new installations that require a 60 Amp two-pole breaker.

For facilities already utilizing Eaton Type BR equipment, the BRH260 provides a compatible replacement while maintaining consistency within the existing electrical distribution system.
