I believe it means it doesn't provide over-current protection. I think it's just a disconnect.

Don't use it in your car.

What's the application? What's it serving? Could be a service connect, such as for A/C.

[Neal Lewis]

It's actually for an exterior subpanel box.

Id agree with that answer

It is a molded case switch, MCS, it provides no overcurrent protection.

Edit: Since it is a FPE, if it was a circuit breaker who knows if it would work.[] They were common around here for a while for A/C disconnects.(The FPE MCS's).

The "disconnect only" switches I usually see are blank without numbers written on them. Does the 60 must mean the capacity of the switch rather than the point at which it would trip?

The 60 simply means that is the point at which it burns. It will not trip automatically.

60A is it's rating, it will not trip as it's just a switch.
