Eaton BRHH260 Type BR breaker - 42 kAIC UL 490
Part Number: BRHH260
Quick Summary
Eaton BRHH260 thermal magnetic circuit breaker provides overcurrent protection for BR load centers in commercial and light industrial panels. A common pain point is nuisance trips or inadequate protection during switching duties, which disrupt uptime and safety. It carries UL 490 certification and complies with Federal Specifications W-C376, with optional HACR and shunt-trip capabilities noted in the catalog. For panel builders and maintenance teams, the 60 A, 120/240 V rating and plug‑on mounting translate to faster, safer installs and predictable performance. This combination supports BR Loadcenters and common-trip protection to simplify panel design and maintenance. Engineers can rely on consistent interrupt performance across 10-150 A ranges as catalog notes indicate.

Feature: 60 A two-pole design with 120/240 V rating aligns with common branch circuit loads in commercial panels. Business impact: reduces nuisance trips, delivers reliable protection, and streamlines wire routing in BR Loadcenters. Application: ideal for control panels and distribution boards in light industrial facilities. Feature: 42 kAIC interrupt rating and common breaker trip enhances fault clearance and system safety. Business impact: minimizes equipment damage and downtime during short-circuit events, supporting safer installations in high-load environments. Application: main distribution and machine control panels where fault current can be high. Feature: Plug-on mounting with #4-1/0 AWG Cu/Al wire size supports rapid installation and clean wiring within tight panel spaces. Business impact: reduces installation time and labor costs while improving reliability of connections. Application: compact panelboards and retrofit projects in commercial/industrial spaces. Feature: UL 490 certification and Federal Specifications W-C376 compliance provide regulatory assurance and vendor confidence. Business impact: lowers procurement risk and simplifies compliance audits, especially for regulated industries. Application: regulated electrical installations and safety-critical panels. Feature: Compact dimensions and light weight (2.4 in D, 2.75 in H, 2 in W; 0.8 lb) enable higher panel density and easier handling during maintenance. Business impact: increases usable space in crowded enclosures and improves serviceability. Application: high-density electrical distribution cabinets and machine control panels.
