FAQs
The QHCX2060 is a two-pole miniature circuit breaker rated for 60 A and built for cable-in/cable-out terminations, making it highly compatible with standard control panels and enclosure assemblies. Its compact footprint (3.8 in L x 4.8 in H x 2.2 in W) supports dense panel layouts while enabling straightforward wiring, speeding up both initial builds and field retrofits.
A 42 kAIC interrupt rating indicates the breaker can safely interrupt fault currents up to 42 kiloamps on a 120/240 V system. This level of protection is suitable for many industrial feeders and machinery circuits, providing reliable fault isolation and helping prevent damage to downstream equipment and wiring during short-circuit events.
The QHCX2060 is well-suited for industrial distribution panels, control cabinets, and machine enclosures that operate at 120/240 V. Its two-pole 60 A rating and cable-in/cable-out termination make it ideal for compact, space-constrained installations, retrofits, and OEM panel builds where robust short-circuit protection and dependable operation are required.
The QHCX2060 carries CSA Certified and UL Listed certifications, ensuring compliance with North American electrical standards. This helps streamline regulatory audits, supports supplier qualification, and enables safer procurement practices for mission-critical equipment within governed industrial facilities.
With a 1-year warranty and durable thermal-magnetic design, the QHCX2060 offers predictable maintenance needs and lower risk of nuisance trips. Its reliable protection reduces unplanned downtime, improving overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and ROI for panel builders, system integrators, and maintenance teams managing industrial networks.
