BQD260 - 60Amp Circuit Breaker

BQD260 - 60Amp Circuit Breaker

The Siemens BQD260 is a 60-amp, 2-pole circuit breaker built for 480VAC panelboards and branch circuits. It’s designed to protect your wiring and connected equipment from overloads and short circuits. Its thermal magnetic trip reacts to slow overloads and sudden faults, keeping your circuits safe without causing unnecessary interruptions.

The breaker is panelboard-ready and compact, making installation straightforward, while low-tab connections simplify wiring. Rated for 14 kAIC, the BQD260 safely handles fault currents. It’s commonly used in offices, schools, warehouses, healthcare facilities, retail locations, and industrial plants where consistent 60-amp protection is essential.
