Siemens D260 60A 2-Pole 240 V Circuit Breaker

The Siemens D260 60A 2-Pole 240 V Circuit Breaker is a dedicated overcurrent protection device designed for high-demand 240V circuits in residential and light commercial panels. With a 60‑amp rating and a two‑pole design, it interrupts both hot legs simultaneously to safely disconnect the circuit and protect wiring and devices connected to it.

Key specifications at a glance:

• Current rating: 60 A
• Poles: 2
• Voltage rating: 240 V
• Part number: D260

Where this breaker shines

• Feeder protection for large 240V loads such as electric water heaters, central air conditioning systems, or subpanel feeders in a home or small business.
• Replacement or upgrade in Siemens panels that accept the D260 form factor, ensuring a reliable, compatible fit and predictable performance.
• Ideal for new installations where a 60A two-pole breaker is required to meet wiring gauges and code compliance for high-current circuits.

Why choose Siemens D260 in your electrical upgrade or service call

• Brand-specific reliability: Siemens has a long track record of delivering consistent trip characteristics and robust construction, designed to endure in everyday electrical environments.
• Precise protection aligned with wire gauge and circuit needs: 60A rating helps prevent nuisance trips on normal startup surges while still stopping dangerous overloads.
