Eaton / Cutler-Hammer BRDC230240 30/40A Quadplex Miniature Circuit Breaker

No, the BRDC230240 is a non-CTL circuit breaker and does not feature a rejection tab. It is designed for use in older, non-circuit-total-limiting (non-CTL) Eaton, Cutler-Hammer, or Bryant BR series load centers that do not have notched bus stabs.

This quadplex breaker features a 30A two-pole common trip on the outer poles and a 40A two-pole common trip on the center (inner) poles.

Both are quadplex breakers with 30A outer and 40A inner common-trip poles. However, the BRDC230240 is a non-CTL breaker without a rejection tab for older panels, while the BQC230240 is a CTL breaker with a rejection tab designed for newer, circuit-limiting load centers with notched bus stabs.

The BRDC230240 is a quadplex breaker that provides two independent 240V circuits but only requires two standard 1-inch spaces in your load center.

This breaker is specifically listed for use in Eaton, Cutler-Hammer, Bryant, and Westinghouse BR-style load centers. It should not be installed in panels from other manufacturers unless explicitly permitted by the panel's labeling.

The BRDC230240 features common trip mechanisms for both the 30A outer poles and the 40A inner poles. If a fault occurs on one leg of either 240V circuit, both legs of that specific circuit will trip simultaneously.

This thermal-magnetic breaker uses fixed Long-Time and Instantaneous (LI) trip functions. The thermal element provides a delayed trip for mild overloads, while the magnetic element reacts instantly to severe short circuits.
