Thermal-magnetic protection with a 60 A rating provides reliable overload protection while rapidly interrupting higher fault currents. This helps prevent motor stalls, wiring damage, and unplanned downtime, translating to longer equipment life and lower maintenance costs in everyday production environments. The QHPX2060 is suited for control panels, feeders, and compact switchgear in manufacturing and processing facilities. Two-pole construction with fixed terminals and plug-on mounting simplifies installation and future servicing. The compact footprint—3 in long, 3 in wide, and 2 in high—fits tight panel cavities and streamlines cable routing, reducing labor time during panel assembly and retrofit projects. It aligns with common industrial wiring practices for dependable, repeatable results. With a 42 kAIC interrupt rating, this breaker can safely interrupt large fault currents without compromising system integrity. That capability minimizes arc flash risk and protects downstream devices, motors, and feeders during faults. Applications include motor control centers, machine control panels, and process-line disconnects. Compliance is built in: UL Listed and CSA Certified, along with HACR rating, providing assurance for HVAC and general purpose duty. This combination supports safer installations and simplifies regulatory audits, retrofits, and new-build approvals. The QHPX2060 meets industry expectations for quality and reliability. Warranty and lifecycle considerations help protect total cost of ownership: a 1-year warranty demonstrates Eaton's confidence in long-term performance. Fixed terminals and robust mechanical design reduce maintenance cycles and spare-part requirements, delivering predictable performance across extended operation in harsh environments. Designed for compatibility with the Eaton Quicklag family, this breaker integrates smoothly into existing 120/240 V power systems and standard industrial panels. The plug-on mounting and non-interchangeable options provide a controlled, stable protection scheme that supports consistent protection strategies across multiple lines and facilities.

FAQs
The QHPX2060 uses plug-on mounting and fixed terminals for straightforward installation. Position the two-pole breaker at the panel bus, secure the fixed terminals with appropriate conductors, and ensure the unit sits properly in its mounting space. Verify voltage rating is 120/240 V and confirm alignment with downstream conductors and feeders. This approach minimizes wiring errors and speeds up commissioning in new builds or retrofits.
Key specs include a 60 A amperage rating, 42 kAIC interrupt rating, dual-pole configuration, 120/240 V voltage rating, HACR compliance, and UL Listed plus CSA Certified certifications. These parameters define the protection level, fault interruption capability, and suitable application environments, such as motors, feeders, and HVAC-related circuits.
Yes. The two-pole, 60 A thermal-magnetic design with a 42 kAIC interrupt rating is well-suited for motor control centers and HVAC/power-distribution panels. HACR rating aligns with HVAC loads, while UL Listed and CSA Certified certifications support compliance across industrial installations, reducing risk during commissioning and operation.
The QHPX2060 is UL Listed and CSA Certified and HACR rated. These certifications demonstrate safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance across North American markets, simplifying audits, installations in regulated environments, and acceptance by maintenance teams and system integrators.
The 1-year warranty signals strong reliability, while the thermal-magnetic protection reduces nuisance trips and equipment wear. Its plug-on mounting and fixed terminals streamline servicing, lower labor costs during upgrades, and minimize downtime, delivering predictable lifecycle value for facilities with frequent panel maintenance or expansions.
