SIEMENS B260 Miniature Circuit Breaker BL 60A 2 Pole 120/240V AC

SKU CH-30A0-Z5DGJ

Two-pole miniature circuit breaker rated 60 A at 120/240 V AC with a 10 kA interrupting rating for Siemens P1 panels

  • 60 A rating handles heavy residential loads
  • 10 kA interrupting capacity clears short-circuit faults
  • Bolt-on mounting secures directly to P1 panelboards
  • Two-pole design protects both legs of 120/240 V service
  • 125 A frame size fits standard BL breaker spaces

Siemens BL Series Miniature Circuit Breaker

The Siemens B260 is a standard bolt-on miniature circuit breaker rated at 60 A for 120/240 V AC single-phase systems. It uses a two-pole toggle actuator and lug terminals. Designed for Siemens P1 panelboards, it fits the BL frame size and provides overcurrent protection for residential and light-commercial circuits.

10 kA Interrupting Rating at 120/240 V AC

The breaker carries a maximum AIR rating of 10 kA at its rated voltage, which is the single specification that determines whether it can safely interrupt fault current in a given installation. If the available short-circuit current at the panel exceeds this value, the breaker is not suitable and a higher-rated device must be selected.

Bolt-On Mounting with Lug Terminals

The bolt-on mounting style secures the breaker directly to the P1 panelboard bus, while the integral lug terminals accept conductors down to 8 AWG. No separate mounting hardware or terminal kits are required, so the accessories supplied with the breaker are the only parts needed for a standard installation.

Questions about this item

What does the 60 A rating mean for the circuits I protect?

It means the breaker will carry up to 60 A continuously and trip on sustained overloads or short circuits to protect the downstream wiring.

What does the 10 kA AIR rating at 120/240 V AC limit in practice?

It limits the maximum prospective fault current the breaker can safely interrupt to 10 000 A on a 120/240 V AC supply.

What does the bolt-on mounting style require in the panel?

It requires a bolt-on bus stab in a Siemens P1 panelboard and accepts wire down to 8 AWG on its lug terminals.
