HGL36060 - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

HGL36060 - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

The HGL36060 is a 60A, 3-pole PowerPacT H circuit breaker made for your compatible electrical distribution systems that need dependable overload and short-circuit protection. It uses a thermal-magnetic trip unit, so the protection is straightforward and familiar. The breaker is rated 18 kA at 600VAC, with additional UL 489 ratings of 35 kA at 480VAC and 65 kA at 240VAC. This version uses mechanical lugs on both the line and load sides, which makes it a practical match for unit-mount applications where a direct lug connection is required. Dual-break rotating contacts help keep your peak current down during a short-circuit event, while the push-to-trip button on the cover gives qualified personnel a simple way to manually trip the breaker during testing or service.

Key Features and Benefits
