Square D QOU260 60 A Breaker
This Square D QOU260 is a 60 A miniature circuit breaker rated for 120/240 V AC and 48 V DC. It uses a standard two-pole design with a toggle actuator and belongs to the QOU series. The frame size is 100 A and the maximum AIR rating reaches 10 kA at 120/240 V AC. It is intended for air-conditioning, refrigeration and heating equipment.
Surface or DIN-Rail Mount with Reversible Lugs
The breaker mounts on a surface or DIN rail and measures 4.05 in. in length. Terminals are slotted box lugs with reversible line and load connections, so conductors can be landed from either direction. A common issue is forgetting to torque the lugs to the manufacturer’s specification, which can lead to overheating. Verify that the panelboard is a compatible QO series unit before installation.
For Single-Phase 60 A Circuits on QO Panels
This device suits installers protecting single-phase 60 A branch circuits in QO load centres, especially for HVAC and heating loads. It is not suitable for three-phase systems, for voltages above 240 V AC or 48 V DC, or for panels that do not accept QOU-series breakers. Buyers needing a different ampere rating, pole count or mounting style should select another model.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the QOU260 is protecting the circuit after I mount it on the DIN rail?
Switch the toggle to the on position; the breaker will carry up to 60 A at 120/240 V AC or 48 V DC and trip automatically if current exceeds the 10 kA interrupting rating.
What comes with the QOU260 and what must I source separately?
The breaker itself includes reversible slotted box lugs for line and load; you must supply DIN rail or surface-mount hardware and the QO-series panelboard or load center it fits.
Which version of the QOU260 should I select for a 60 A, two-pole application?
The QOU260 is a single 60 A, two-pole model in the 100 A frame size; choose it when you need 48 V DC or 120/240 V AC protection in a QO-compatible panel.
