Square D QOU260RP - 60A, 2-Pole, Circuit Breaker

Meet the Square D QOU260RP, a 60A, 2-pole circuit breaker designed to deliver reliable overcurrent protection in demanding electrical environments. With a two-pole configuration, it guards both hot legs of 240V circuits, providing staged, coordinated protection for power feeds, motors, and control circuits in panelboards, switchboards, and control panels.

Key advantages

• 60-amp protection tailored for robust feeders and motor circuits, helping to prevent wiring damage and equipment downtime.
• 2-pole design ensures simultaneous disconnection of both conductors, enhancing safety and ensuring proper fault clearing in 240V systems.
• Versatile installation built for use in Square D panelboards, switchboards, and control panels where dependable protection is critical.
• Brand reliability from Square D, a trusted name in electrical distribution with a long track record of consistent performance in industrial settings.

Ideal applications

• Industrial distribution panels and motor control centers that require dependable overcurrent protection
• Commercial electrical panels and feeders where space, reliability, and quick fault interruption matter
• OEM equipment assemblies needing rugged, drop-in protection that aligns with standard Square D infrastructure

What problems it solves

The QOU260RP provides rapid interruption of fault currents to minimize wiring insulation damage, reduce downtime, and protect downstream equipment. Its two-pole architecture ensures that both sides of a circuit are cleared together, preventing dangerous half-trips and ensuring safer maintenance and startup conditions.

Practical considerations and setup tips

• Use in compatible Square D panelboards, switchboards, and control panels designed to accommodate 2-pole breakers
• Plan for straightforward replacement or upgrading of existing feeders that run at 60A with a reliable two-pole protection solution
• Label appropriately to reflect 60A, 2-pole protection and to support easy troubleshooting and maintenance
