BQD6260 - 60Amp Circuit Breaker

BQD6260 - 60Amp Circuit Breaker

The Siemens BQD6260 is a 2-pole, 60-amp circuit breaker built for use in 347/600VAC panelboard systems. It's a common choice in commercial and industrial facilities where dependable overcurrent protection is needed for lighting, distribution equipment, and feeder circuits. Whether you're replacing an existing breaker or working on a new installation, the BQD6260 offers a straightforward solution backed by Siemens' long-standing reputation in power distribution.

This breaker uses a thermal-magnetic trip unit, which helps it respond to everyday overload conditions as well as larger fault currents. In practical terms, that means protection for circuits and connected equipment without adding unnecessary complexity to the system. Its compact panelboard-mount design also makes it a good fit when space inside the enclosure is limited.

With a 10kA interrupting rating and a 100-amp frame, the BQD6260 is well suited for a variety of commercial power distribution applications.
