The Cutler‑Hammer BR260 2‑Pole 60 Amp circuit breaker is a heavy‑duty thermal‑magnetic breaker designed to deliver dependable overcurrent protection for residential and light commercial electrical systems. Engineered for installation in Type BR load centers and panelboards, this breaker helps protect electrical conductors, equipment, and connected loads from damage caused by overloads and short‑circuit conditions.

As part of the trusted BR breaker family, the BR260 offers consistent tripping performance, long‑term durability, and reliable operation under higher electrical demands. Its two‑pole design provides a common disconnect for both ungrounded conductors, making it ideal for 240‑volt circuits and equipment that require simultaneous disconnection. The plug‑on mounting format allows for efficient installation while maintaining a secure mechanical and electrical connection within compatible panels.

The Cutler‑Hammer BR260 breaker is commonly used in applications such as HVAC systems, electric water heaters, ranges, sub‑feeds, and other higher‑load branch circuits. It is a dependable, code‑compliant solution trusted by electricians, contractors, and facility maintenance professionals.
