BQ2C060 - 60Amp Circuit Breaker

BQ2C060 - 60Amp Circuit Breaker

The Challenger BQ2C060 is a 2-pole, 60-amp molded case circuit breaker designed for you to use in compatible Type BQ panelboards and load centers. Rated for 120/240 VAC, it uses a common-trip design that disconnects both poles during overload and short-circuit conditions. A 60-amp, 2-pole breaker is typically installed on dedicated circuits serving air conditioning equipment, heat pumps, electric water heaters, compressors, pumps, and other 240-volt loads. The bolt-on mounting configuration provides a secure connection within compatible panels, while the HACR rating allows use in heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration applications. For your facilities and homeowners maintaining existing Type BQ electrical systems, the BQ2C060 provides the required amperage, voltage rating, and configuration for replacement and repair work. Built to last, it is well suited for keeping established electrical systems operating as intended.
