Schneider Electric CHOM260 60A 2-Pole 240 V Circuit Breaker

Schneider Electric CHOM260 60A 2-Pole 240 V Circuit Breaker protects high-demand 240-volt circuits with precision and reliability. As part of Schneider Electric’s CH family, this part number CHOM260 is designed for seamless integration into compatible CH-series panels, making replacement or upgrade straightforward and dependable.

Designed for two hot legs at 240 V, this breaker delivers a robust 60 A current rating to shield wiring and equipment from overloads and short circuits. The two-pole design ensures simultaneous disconnection of both legs, helping to prevent dangerous half-connection scenarios and maintaining system safety across the circuit.

Why this CHOM260 matters

• Exact fit for CH-series panels: Optimized form and mounting for reliable operation in Schneider Electric load centers and panels designed for CH breakers.
• Clear, predictable protection: 60 A rating provides meaningful protection for sizable 240 V loads, such as large appliances, HVAC equipment, or subfeed circuits.
• Simple replacement option: Part Number CHOM260 serves as a precise, ready-to-install replacement when upgrading or restoring a 60 A, 2-pole 240 V circuit.
• Enhanced safety for 240 V circuits: Dual-pole operation ensures both hot conductors are interrupted together, reducing the risk of neutral imbalances or arc faults on shared circuits.

Ideal use cases

• Protecting HVAC condenser units, heat pumps, or electric water heaters that operate on 240 V at up to 60 A.
• Feeding large 240 V circuits in residential or light commercial panels where a two-pole breaker is required.
• Replacing a failed or aging 60 A two-pole 240 V breaker in CH-series panels to restore reliable protection quickly.

Practical considerations

When installing, ensure the panel is designed to accept CH-series breakers and that the mode of installation aligns with standard electrical safety practices. Confirm the circuit’s load requirements and wiring gauge align with a 60 A, 240 V protection device to maintain optimum performance and safety over the lifetime of the installation.

In short, the CHOM260 delivers durable, industry-standard protection for demanding 240 V circuits while preserving compatibility and ease of replacement within Schneider Electric’s CH-series ecosystem. This is the reliable choice for professionals and knowledgeable DIYers who demand precise performance from a trusted name.
