FC3060 - 60Amp Circuit Breaker

FC3060 - 60Amp Circuit Breaker

When you're replacing a molded case circuit breaker, the amp rating is only one piece of the puzzle. A proper replacement should match the original breaker's type, frame, pole configuration, voltage rating, interrupting capacity, terminal layout, and physical dimensions.

The FC3060 is a 60 Amp, 3-pole Type FC thermal-magnetic circuit breaker built for applications that require the same electrical ratings and physical fit as the original device. Its thermal-magnetic trip mechanism handles two different fault conditions: the thermal element responds to overloads that develop over time, while the magnetic element reacts almost instantly to short circuits.

Key Features and Benefits

• 60 Amp rating for compatible branch and feeder circuit applications
• Three-pole configuration for use in three-phase electrical systems
• Type FC molded case circuit breaker
• Thermal and magnetic trip elements work together to respond to both prolonged overloads and short-circuit faults
• Factory-installed, non-interchangeable trip unit
• Rated for operation in ambient temperatures up to 40°C
• Interrupting ratings of:
  • 14kA at 600VAC
  • 14kA at 480VAC
  • 22kA at 240VAC
• Load terminals are included
• Intended as a form, fit, and functional replacement when the original breaker specifications match
• Built to last when installed and maintained in accordance with applicable electrical codes
