The Eaton BR260 is a full-size, double-pole circuit breaker designed for use in 120/240 V panelboards. This interchangeable breaker provides reliable protection for residential and light-commercial electrical circuits, safeguarding wiring against overloads and short circuits while extending the lifespan of your electrical system.
Double-pole breakers simultaneously disconnect both hot legs in 240 V circuits, making them ideal for high-power devices such as HVAC units, water heaters, and electric ranges. The BR260’s 60 A rating delivers ample current capacity for heavy-load applications, while its thermal-magnetic trip mechanism ensures rapid response to faults, reducing fire risk and equipment damage. The 2-inch width fits standard distribution boards without custom modifications, and the interchangeable design simplifies upgrades and replacements.
