The Siemens Q260 2‑Pole 60 Amp circuit breaker is a premium thermal‑magnetic breaker designed to provide reliable overcurrent protection for residential and light commercial electrical systems. Engineered for use exclusively in Siemens load centers and panelboards, this breaker safeguards wiring and connected equipment from damage caused by overloads and short‑circuit conditions.

As part of the trusted Siemens Type QP breaker family, the Q260 delivers consistent tripping performance and dependable operation under demanding electrical loads. Its 2‑pole configuration ensures simultaneous disconnection of both hot conductors, making it ideal for 240‑volt applications that require higher amperage capacity. The plug‑on design allows for fast installation while maintaining a secure, stable electrical connection.

Commonly used for HVAC systems, electric water heaters, ranges, sub‑feeds, and other high‑load equipment, the Siemens Q260 breaker is a durable and code‑compliant solution trusted by electricians, contractors, and maintenance professionals.
