Information About Q260
The Q260 is a Siemens Type QP circuit breaker from the Q/QP series, developed for standardized protection in residential and commercial electrical distribution systems. It features a compact two-pole construction with plug-in mounting, allowing straightforward integration into Siemens loadcenters. The breaker is fully compatible with Siemens EQ, EQL, SEQ, EQG, PL, and ES series panels, supporting consistent system design and expansion. Typical applications include branch circuit protection for lighting, receptacle, and equipment loads where UL-listed thermal-magnetic performance is required.
Key Features
- Type QP Series Design: Engineered specifically for Siemens QP-compatible loadcenters to ensure proper mechanical and electrical fit.
- 60 Amp Two-Pole Rating: Provides simultaneous protection for both ungrounded conductors in 120/240V single-phase circuits.
- Thermal-Magnetic Trip Unit: Combines inverse-time thermal protection with instantaneous magnetic response for short-circuit events.
- 10 kA Interrupting Capacity: Safely interrupts fault currents up to 10,000 amperes to protect wiring and connected equipment.
- Plug-In Mounting with Insta-Wire: Simplifies installation while maintaining secure conductor termination.
- Wide Loadcenter Compatibility: Designed for use in Siemens EQ, EQL, SEQ, EQG, PL, and ES series panelboards.
- UL and CSA Compliance: Manufactured in accordance with recognized safety and performance standards.
The Q260 delivers the reliability and precision required for branch circuit protection in Siemens residential and commercial loadcenter applications.
