Restoring power in older properties requires specific hardware like this 60A, two-pole miniature breaker. It delivers reliable thermal-magnetic protection for heavy residential loads. Designed specifically for Wadsworth Type A load centers, this unit installs into the busbar without modifications. It serves as an authentic fit for systems where modern breakers cannot be utilized. Featuring a Non-Interchangeable design and Class CTL rejection, it ensures proper installation in designated slots.
What load centers are compatible with the Wadsworth A260NI?
The A260NI is designed exclusively for use in vintage Wadsworth Type A load centers. It features a specific plug-on clip and metal foot design that will not fit in panels from other manufacturers.
Is there a modern replacement for the obsolete Wadsworth A260NI?
Yes, Connecticut Electric manufactures a direct, ETL-listed replacement for this breaker under the UBI brand. The replacement catalog number is UBIA260NI, which is designed to fit the same Wadsworth Type A panels.
What does the "NI" in the A260NI catalog number indicate?
The "NI" stands for Non-Interchangeable. This indicates the breaker has a specific Class CTL rejection mechanism, ensuring it can only be installed in designated panel slots to prevent overloading the busbar.
What types of electrical loads is a 60A 2-pole breaker typically used for?
A 60-amp, 240V two-pole breaker is commonly used to protect heavy residential loads such as large central air conditioning units, electric furnaces, or as a main breaker for a sub-feed panel. Always verify your equipment's specific amperage requirements.
Does the Wadsworth A260NI provide GFCI or AFCI protection?
No, the A260NI is a standard thermal-magnetic breaker that provides overload and short-circuit protection. It does not include Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) or Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) capabilities.
