Product FAQs
5 answersWhat panels are compatible with the BQC215240 quad breaker?
This breaker is designed for Eaton Type BR load centers. It is also a UL-approved replacement for legacy Westinghouse, Challenger, and Bryant panels that accept 1-inch BR-style plug-on breakers.
Does the BQC215240 require a CTL notched bus bar?
Yes, this is a CTL (Circuit Total Limiting) breaker. It features a rejection tab and must be installed in panel positions specifically notched to accept tandem or quadplex breakers.
How are the 15A and 40A circuits configured on this quadplex breaker?
The breaker provides two separate 240V circuits while only occupying two standard 1-inch panel spaces. It contains one 15-amp 2-pole circuit and one 40-amp 2-pole circuit in a single unit.
Are the 2-pole circuits on the BQC215240 common trip or independent trip?
The BQC series utilizes a common trip mechanism. If an overload or fault occurs on one leg of a 2-pole circuit, both legs of that specific circuit will trip simultaneously to disconnect 240V power.
Is the BQC215240 rated for HVAC equipment?
Yes, Eaton BQC quadplex circuit breakers carry a listing for HACR (Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration) applications, making them suitable for compatible HVAC loads.
