This is true. They must be internally ganged when tripping.<br>
<br>
Be aware that these breakers may not be internally ganged<br>
when you manually switch them on and off though. That is<br>
where the pin comes in.<br>

Our 100 amp din rail is essentially 2 breakers in
parallel. So in theory the 2 60 amp breakers "Could" work
but. My concern would be that they may not be tripped at
the same time where they are not internally ganged. I
can't say "Go Ahead" but.<br>
