HomeLine 60 Amp Circuit Breaker CHOM260 - 60 A, 240 V, 2-Pole Plug-In Circuit Breaker | AmpState

The HomeLine CHOM260 60 Amp Circuit Breaker delivers dependable branch circuit protection for panelboards and load centers, safeguarding wiring and devices in a compact, plug-in design. Engineered for reliable performance in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings, this 2‑pole breaker is ready to handle demanding 240 V circuits with confidence.

• Fast plug‑in installation — streamline panel work with a quick, secure connection that reduces downtime during installation or replacement.
• Thermal‑magnetic trip unit — combines precise temperature‑dependent protection with magnetic rapid response for short‑circuit events, delivering stable, repeatable protection across varying loads and environments.
• 60 A, 240 V, 2‑pole design — ideal for heavy‑duty circuits and modern 240 V systems, providing solid two‑pole protection for feeders and essential equipment.
• OEM‑level compatibility — designed to work with matching OEM load centers and panelboards, ensuring consistent fit and performance in your existing infrastructure.
• Versatile applications — a practical choice for homes, small commercial spaces, and light industrial installations requiring reliable overcurrent and short‑circuit protection.

How it works is straightforward: when current exceeds the 60 A rating, or a short circuit creates a sudden surge, the thermal element reacts to heat buildup and the magnetic element responds to the surge, rapidly interrupting the circuit to prevent damage. This behavior helps protect wiring insulation, reduce fire risk, and minimize equipment downtime.
