HJL36060 - 60 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you need dependable protection for critical electrical systems, the 60 Amp, 3-pole HJL36060 from Schneider Electric’s PowerPacT® H-Frame lineup delivers. Built for both commercial and industrial applications, this circuit breaker shields your system from overloads and short-circuit events, helping maintain continuous operation and peace of mind. With dual-break rotating contacts and a manual trip button, the unit offers added safety and flexibility for installation and maintenance.

Key Features and Benefits

• 60 Amp rated current (3-pole): Handles three-phase loads smoothly and provides consistent protection for both major and minor circuits.
• High interrupting capacity: Rated for 25 kA at 600 V AC, 65 kA at 480 V AC, 100 kA at 240 V AC and 20 kA at 250 V DC, the HJL36060 stands ready to interrupt fault currents safely.
• Dual-break rotating contacts: Reduces peak current during a short-circuit event, protecting the overall infrastructure from stress.
• Manual ‘push-to-trip’ button: Lets you test the breaker’s trip mechanism manually, adding a layer of control and safety.
• Line and load lug connections: Simplifies wiring and allows greater installation flexibility and compatibility with accessories and add-ons.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: Combines overload (thermal) and short-circuit (magnetic) protection, offering dependable dual-mode safeguarding.
