Circuit Breaker · 2-Pole 60A 120/240V · Type BR Plug-On Thermal Magnetic · Eaton BR260
What this product is for
The Eaton BR260 is a Type BR plug-on thermal magnetic circuit breaker used to provide overcurrent and short-circuit protection on 120/240V AC branch circuits. It is a 2-pole, common-trip breaker rated 60A with a 10 kAIC interrupting capacity.
Use for
Use this breaker in listed Eaton Type BR loadcentres and other panelboards specifically identified for Type BR breakers. Typical applications include 240V equipment, subfeed circuits, ranges, welders, air-conditioning equipment, and other branch circuits requiring a 2-pole 60A breaker.
As a rule of thumb, a 60A breaker is commonly paired with conductors and equipment sized for that overcurrent rating, but actual conductor size, temperature rating, termination limits, and load calculation must be confirmed from the equipment nameplate and local code.
Avoid for
Avoid using this breaker in panels not marked for Eaton Type BR breakers, or where an alternate breaker class such as CH, GFCI, AFCI, or high-interrupting-capacity protection is required. Do not use it as a substitute for proper equipment sizing or panel compatibility verification.
Best for
Best for residential and light commercial service work where electricians need a standard 1 in (25.4 mm) per pole Type BR plug-on breaker with common trip for 120/240V circuits. It is a practical choice for replacement, maintenance, and loadcentre expansion where the panel listing matches Type BR.
Installed in
Installed in Eaton Type BR loadcentres and other specifically listed compatible panelboards. Always verify the panel label before ordering, especially on replacement work involving older Bryant, Westinghouse, Challenger, or Cutler-Hammer branded equipment.
Why this product exists
This breaker exists to provide a standard plug-on overcurrent protection option for Type BR distribution equipment. The 2-pole common-trip design disconnects both ungrounded conductors together when a fault or overload occurs, which is required for many 240V and multiwire applications.
Compared with similar products
Compared with single-pole breakers, the BR260 protects a 2-pole circuit and trips both poles together. Compared with Eaton Type CH breakers, this is a Type BR format and is not interchangeable unless the panel label specifically permits it. Compared with specialty breakers, this is a standard thermal magnetic breaker and does not add GFCI or AFCI protection.
