Q160 - 60Amp Circuit Breaker

Q160 - 60Amp Circuit Breaker

Looking for a Q160 circuit breaker to match an existing application? This 60-amp, 1-pole Type QP breaker has a plug-in design and is rated at 10 kA I.C. at 120 VAC. It measures 2.88 inches high, 1 inch wide, and 2.56 inches deep, giving it a compact footprint for compatible electrical equipment. The Q160 is also HACR-rated and carries a 40°C temperature rating. Whether you're replacing an existing breaker or matching a breaker to equipment specifications, the important thing is getting all the details right. Check the Q160 part number along with the amperage, voltage, pole count, breaker type, and interrupting rating before installation. A breaker can look like the right fit and still have different electrical characteristics, so matching the actual specifications is always the better approach.
