Siemens ED61B060L - 60 A, 600 V, 1-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

Engineered for dependable branch circuit protection, the Siemens ED61B060L is a compact, 1-pole molded case circuit breaker designed to fit tight panel layouts without compromising safety. With a rugged 60A rating and a robust 600V capacity, this device is built to handle everyday demand in modern electrical installations—from home panels to light commercial setups.

Why this breaker stands out

• Space-efficient molded case design: Optimizes panel real estate, allowing more circuits in tight electrical panels and load centers.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: Delivers stable, repeatable protection by combining overload (thermal) and short-circuit (magnetic) sensing for precise and rapid response.
• 1-pole configuration: Streamlines wiring and protection for single-circuit branches common in residential and light industrial layouts.
• Siemens OEM compatibility: Designed to drop into matching Siemens load centers and panelboards for a seamless, code-compliant fit.
• Versatile applications: Ideal for residential service panels, commercial equipment feeds, and light industrial circuits where reliable overcurrent and short-circuit protection are essential.

What problems it solves

When overcurrent or a short occurs, the ED61B060L activates quickly to interrupt the fault current, protecting wiring insulation, devices, and the panel itself. The thermal-magnetic mechanism offers repeatable trip performance across varying temperatures and fault currents, reducing nuisance trips while maintaining critical safety margins for your electrical system.
