EC3060 - 60Amp Circuit Breaker

EC3060 - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

The EC3060 circuit breaker is a 60-amp, 3-pole thermal-magnetic breaker designed for use in electrical distribution systems that require dependable overcurrent protection in compatible EC-frame equipment. Built with a non-interchangeable trip unit and rated for operation at 40°C, this breaker helps protect conductors and connected equipment from overloads and short circuits in commercial and industrial electrical panels. With a 10k A.I.C. interrupting rating at 240VAC, the EC3060 is suitable for applications where maintaining proper protection within existing EC-series systems is essential. Its included load terminals simplify installation, and the breaker’s construction reflects the durable design standards typical of legacy electrical components that were made to last.

When replacing a breaker in an existing EC-frame panel or switchboard, matching amperage, pole configuration, and interrupting rating is critical. The EC3060 provides the correct form, fit, and function for systems designed around this frame type, helping maintain proper circuit protection without altering the original equipment configuration.
