Default Electrical 60 double pole

When it says 60 double pole does that mean 60 amp each let or is it 30 amp
each leg?

Thanks in advance
Chris

If you are talking about a common house breaker, then it is 60 amps for each
leg.
Assuming that is the case, it would take a 60 amp (or over ) load to trip
it, or 60+ amps to the neutral or ground from either leg if a 240 volt
breaker.

On a 240 volt circuit it means 60 amps flows through the circuit.
