What this breaker does
The SIEMENS QF260 is a two-pole ground-fault circuit interrupter rated for 60 A at 120/240V AC. It provides Class A protection with a 5 mA trip threshold and installs directly into compatible Siemens load centres.
The spec that decides fit
The plug-in mounting style and 10 kA interrupting rating at 120/240V AC determine whether this breaker matches your panel. It accepts 8 AWG to 6 AWG lug connections and carries a 48V DC rating for limited low-voltage use.
Install notes and common issues
Toggle actuation and plug-in design make insertion straightforward when the load centre matches the QF series frame. The most frequent problem is attempting to mount it in a non-Siemens or incompatible panel where the bus geometry does not align.

Questions about this item
What does the 60 A rating mean when the breaker is installed in a panel?
The breaker will carry up to 60 A continuously and trip on a ground fault above 5 mA, protecting 120/240 V AC circuits in a Siemens load centre.
How does the plug-in mounting and 10 kA interrupt rating affect installation?
The plug-in design snaps onto the bus bars of compatible Siemens load centres, and the 10 kA AIR rating means it can safely interrupt fault currents up to that level at 120/240 V AC.
What wire sizes and physical space are required for this two-pole unit?
It accepts 8 AWG to 6 AWG copper conductors and occupies a 3.13 in by 2.0 in footprint with a 2.38 in depth inside the panel.
