Product FAQs

5 answers
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.

    Breaker panel

    I recently purchased a breaker panel cover. It arrived in a timely manner well packed and unharmed.

    The shipping was free so I was sceptical.

    All is well.
