FAL26060 - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

FAL26060 - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

The FAL26060 is a premium two‐pole, 60 amp circuit breaker built for demanding electrical systems. With a 600 V rating and thermal-magnetic trip mechanism, it responds quickly to short‐circuits and overloads to protect your equipment and wiring. The solid design and trusted build quality mean you’re making an investment in system safety and longevity—whether you’re outfitting a commercial panel, an industrial feed, or a mission-critical installation.

Key Features and Benefits

• High voltage capacity (600 V): Supports heavy-duty loads and helps future-proof your setup.
• 60 A current rating: Makes it ideal for medium-duty circuits that require reliable protection.
• Two-pole configuration: Ensures proper isolation of both phases in single-phase systems and enhances safety in your panel.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: Delivers accurate detection of both overloads and short-circuit events, helping avoid downtime and protecting downstream components.
• “Feed-through” style connection: (Line and load side lugs) simplifies wiring and enables flexibility in installation.
• Long-time and instantaneous trip functions: Integrated to give you solid all-around protection without needing add-on modules.
