Square D QOB260VH Bolt-On Breaker
The Square D QOB260VH is a 60 A two-pole miniature circuit breaker rated for 120/240 V AC single-phase service. It belongs to the QOB series and is designed for bolt-on mounting in compatible Square D NQOD panelboards and QO load centers. Its 22 kA interrupting capacity suits high-fault-current residential and light-commercial installations.
Verify Panelboard Series And Space Before Ordering
Confirm that the target panelboard is a Square D NQOD or QO series unit that accepts bolt-on QOB breakers. The device requires two adjacent pole spaces and uses lug terminals for wire connection; ensure the enclosure has sufficient depth for the 2.9 in body and that local codes permit a 60 A two-pole device on the intended circuit.
Sustained Load Behaviour And Interrupting Margin
Under continuous operation the breaker carries its 60 A rating within a 100 A frame without nuisance tripping when conductors and ambient temperature are correctly applied. The 22 kA AIR rating at 120/240 V AC provides a wide margin above typical available fault currents, so the device clears sustained short-circuits reliably rather than relying solely on thermal response.

Questions about this item
Does the QOB260VH come with the terminal lug already fitted, or must I buy the lug separately?
The breaker includes a terminal connection lug as part of its standard assembly, so no separate lug purchase is required.
The series shows QOB and a 100 A frame size; does that mean I should pick the 60 A version for a 60 A load?
Yes — the 60 A rating is the trip current for this two-pole breaker, while the 100 A frame simply indicates the maximum physical size the panel can accept.
The label says 22 kA at 120/240 V AC; will that interrupting capacity protect my panel during a real fault?
The 22 kA rating means the breaker can safely interrupt fault currents up to 22 000 amps at 120/240 V AC, provided the panel’s available fault current does not exceed that level.
