E3060 - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

E3060 - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you're maintaining an existing electrical distribution system, finding a circuit breaker that matches the original specifications is often the most important part of the job. The E3060 60 Amp 3-Pole Circuit Breaker is a Type E thermal-magnetic circuit breaker designed for applications requiring 60-amp protection, three-pole configuration, and a 10kA interrupting rating at 240VAC. Built for use in compatible electrical systems, this breaker helps provide the form, fit, and function needed when replacing an existing unit without altering the original design of the equipment.

Featuring a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism, the E3060 responds to both overload and short-circuit conditions. The thermal element reacts to sustained overcurrent situations, while the magnetic element provides a rapid response to fault currents. Its non-interchangeable trip unit helps maintain the original protection characteristics specified for the installation. Rated for operation in ambient temperatures up to 40°C (104°F) and supplied with load terminals, this breaker is well-suited for maintenance, repair, and replacement projects in commercial and industrial environments. Like many electrical components designed for long service life, the E3060 was built to last when used within its intended ratings and application parameters.

Where It Works Best

The E3060 circuit breaker is commonly used in commercial, industrial, and facility maintenance environments where a 60 Amp, 3-pole Type E circuit breaker is required. It is particularly suitable for panelboards, distribution equipment, motor-related circuits, and other electrical systems that require a breaker with matching voltage, interrupting capacity, and configuration specifications. For replacement projects, verifying amperage, pole count, mounting arrangement, and system ratings helps ensure proper compatibility with the existing installation.
