Engineered for space-saving efficiency, the Eaton BQC250220 delivers two independent 240V circuits within a compact two-pole footprint. This quadplex design features a 50A two-pole breaker and a 20A two-pole breaker, making it ideal for simultaneously feeding a large appliance and a smaller 240V load. It mounts into Eaton Type BR load centers that accept Class CTL breakers. The unit includes a rejection tab and features a 10kAIC rating with common trip mechanisms for safety.Specifications

Product FAQs
7 answersWhat load centers are compatible with the BQC250220 quadplex breaker?
This breaker is designed for Eaton, Cutler-Hammer, and Bryant Type BR load centers. It requires two standard 1-inch spaces and must be installed in slots notched for CTL (Circuit Total Limiting) breakers.
How are the 50A and 20A circuits configured on this breaker?
The BQC250220 features a 50A common-trip circuit on the two outer poles and a 20A common-trip circuit on the two inner poles. This allows you to supply two independent 240V loads from a single quadplex unit.
Does the BQC250220 include a CTL rejection tab?
Yes, this breaker includes a CTL rejection tab. It will only seat properly in load center positions specifically designed to accept tandem or quadplex breakers, preventing overloading of the panel bus.
What wire sizes are accepted by the terminals on the BQC250220?
The box lugs on this breaker accept #14 to #4 AWG copper or aluminum conductors for both the 50A outer circuit and the 20A inner circuit.
Are the circuits on this quad breaker independent or common trip?
Both the 50A outer circuit and the 20A inner circuit feature a common-trip mechanism. If an overcurrent or short circuit occurs on one leg of either 240V circuit, both poles of that specific circuit will trip simultaneously.
Is the BQC250220 rated for HVAC equipment?
Yes, like all Eaton Type BQC quadplex breakers, it carries a HACR rating, making it suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
Can this breaker be used to replace two separate 2-pole breakers?
Yes, the quadplex design allows you to consolidate a 50A 240V circuit and a 20A 240V circuit into just two 1-inch panel spaces. This is ideal for freeing up room in a crowded load center for additional upgrades.
