Eaton FD3060 - 60 A, 600 V, 3-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

The Eaton FD3060 is a 60A, 600V, 3-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker designed to deliver dependable branch circuit overcurrent and short-circuit protection in panelboards and loadcenters. Built for longevity, it combines a secure mounting method with precise protection, ensuring reliable operation in demanding electrical environments.

Why the Eaton FD3060 stands out

• Secure bolt-on mounting: A rigid, vibration-resistant bus connection minimizes movement and wear, helping maintain a solid electrical path even in busy electrical rooms or installations with equipment that starts and stops frequently.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: The advanced trip mechanism provides stable, repeatable protection across varying temperatures and load conditions, delivering reliable overload and short-circuit protection when it matters most.
• OEM-compatible design: Engineered to mate with matching OEM loadcenters and panelboards, simplifying installations, retrofits, and service replacements without compatibility concerns.
• Three-pole, 60A at 600V: Ideal for 3-phase distribution in commercial and light industrial settings, while still suitable for residential applications that require robust 3-phase protection.

Ideal use cases and who benefits most

Designed for panelboards and loadcenters, the FD3060 protects downstream circuits in:

• Commercial electrical rooms and service panels with 3-phase power distribution
• Light industrial environments where durable, repeatable protection is essential
• Residential projects that employ 3-phase feeder circuits or subpanels in multi-unit buildings

In any scenario, this breaker helps guard against damage from both overloads and short circuits, limiting downtime and extending the life of connected equipment.
