Square D EGB26060 - 60 A, 480 V, 2-Pole Bolt-On Circuit Breaker | AmpState

The Square D EGB26060 from AmpState delivers reliable, building-wide protection for electrical distribution in panelboards and load centers. This 60A, 480V, 2-pole bolt-on molded case circuit breaker is engineered to safely interrupt excess current, guarding both wiring and equipment from damage due to overcurrent and short circuits.

Why this breaker stands out

• Secure bolt-on mounting provides a rigid, vibration-resistant bus connection that helps maintain consistent electrical performance in environments with movement or vibration.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit delivers stable, repeatable protection by reacting to both steady overloads (thermal) and rapid short-circuit events (magnetic), reducing nuisance trips while still responding quickly when it matters.
• OEM-compatible design is grounded in compatibility with matching Square D load centers and panelboards, ensuring a seamless fit and reliable operation within established electrical systems.
• Versatile application range suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial installations where dependable branch-circuit protection is essential.
