Product FAQs
8 answersWhat panels are compatible with the BQC2302130?
This breaker is designed for use in Eaton Type BR load centers. It features a CTL (Circuit Total Limitation) rejection tab, meaning it can only be installed in notched bus stabs of compatible CTL panels. It is also an approved replacement for legacy Westinghouse, Challenger, and Bryant panels that accept Type BR breakers.
How many panel spaces does the BQC2302130 require?
As a quadplex breaker, it provides four poles of protection but only requires two standard 1-inch spaces in your load center. This allows you to add circuits to a crowded enclosure without upgrading the panel.
What is the difference between Eaton BQ and BQC quadplex breakers?
The BQ series features independent trip functions, meaning each pole trips independently. The BQC series, including the BQC2302130, features a common trip mechanism where the connected poles will trip synchronously if an overload or short circuit occurs.
What conductor materials and wire sizes are accepted by the BQC2302130?
The box lug terminals on this breaker accept both copper and aluminum (Cu/Al) conductors, accommodating wire sizes from 14 AWG to 4 AWG.
Does this breaker include a CTL rejection tab?
Yes, the BQC2302130 is a Class CTL breaker. It includes a built-in rejection tab on the bus connection side to prevent installation in non-CTL load centers or panel slots not designed for tandem or quadplex breakers.
Is the BQC2302130 HACR rated?
Yes, all Eaton Type BQ and BQC quadplex circuit breakers carry a listing for HACR (Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration) applications, making them suitable for HVAC equipment protection.
Can I use this breaker in a non-CTL load center?
No, CTL breakers like the BQC2302130 are not compatible with non-CTL load centers. The rejection tab prevents it from seating properly on a non-notched bus bar.
Are Eaton and Cutler-Hammer BQC2302130 breakers the same?
Yes. Eaton acquired Cutler-Hammer, and the BQC2302130 may be branded under either name. The physical breaker, specifications, and panel compatibility remain identical regardless of the brand printed on the label.
