BQ3B060 - 60Amp Circuit Breaker

BQ3B060 - 60Amp Circuit Breaker

The Siemens BQ3B060 is a 60-amp, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker for 240V electrical systems. It provides overcurrent protection for your branch and feeder circuits and features a common-trip design that disconnects all three poles simultaneously during overloads or short circuits. Part of Siemens’ Type BQ series, the breaker has a bolt-on connection and includes factory-installed load-side lugs for direct installation in compatible panelboards and distribution equipment.

Rated for 10 kA interrupting capacity and UL 489 listed, the BQ3B060 is used in commercial buildings, schools, offices, retail spaces, apartment complexes, and light industrial facilities. Its compact size allows it to fit neatly into panelboards and load centers. It is commonly applied in branch circuits, feeders, HVAC systems, and other 240V distribution circuits where a 60-amp, 3-pole breaker is specified.
