Eaton BRH260 - 60 A, 240 V, 2-Pole Plug-In Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Meet the Eaton BRH260 — a dependable 60A, 240V, 2-pole plug-in molded case circuit breaker designed to protect branch circuits in panelboards and loadcenters. Built for quick installation and consistent protection, it’s the smart choice for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical environments.

Fast, plug-in installation for minimal downtime

Designed with a fast plug-in connection, the BRH260 drops into compatible Eaton panelboards and OEM loadcenters in seconds. This streamlined installation reduces service interruptions during upgrades, replacements, or routine maintenance while delivering a secure, reliable electrical path.

Reliable thermal-magnetic protection

The integrated thermal-magnetic trip unit delivers stable, repeatable protection. The thermal element monitors sustained overcurrent, while the magnetic element responds instantly to short circuits. The result is predictable protection for wiring and connected devices, reducing the risk of damage from overcurrent events.

Key differentiators that matter

• OEM-compatible fit: engineered to work with matching Eaton loadcenters and panelboards, ensuring proper fit, labeling, and trip characteristics.
• Two-pole design: provides balanced protection for 240V circuits and helps prevent nuisance trips on multi-wire branch circuits.
• Durable construction: molded case and rugged terminals designed to withstand the demands of busy electrical rooms and job sites.
• Versatile applications: ideal for residential service panels, commercial installations, and light industrial panels needing dependable branch-circuit protection.
• Standards-aligned safety: built to meet industry requirements for overcurrent and short-circuit protection with consistent trip performance over time.
