Maximizing panel capacity, the Eaton BRD230230 quadplex breaker provides two independent 30A, 240V circuits within a compact two-pole footprint. This space-saving design accommodates new loads in full residential or commercial panels. Designed for seamless integration, it installs into Eaton Type BR load centers. As a non-CTL breaker without a rejection tab, it provides an excellent drop-in replacement for the older BQ230230 model. The HACR-rated unit delivers a 10 kAIC interrupt rating.
What is the difference between the BRD230230 and the BQC230230?
The BRD230230 is a non-CTL (Circuit Total Limiting) quadplex breaker without a rejection tab, designed for older panels that accept non-CTL breakers. The BQC230230 is the CTL version, which includes a rejection tab and only fits into notched bus stabs on CTL load centers.
How many panel spaces does the BRD230230 quadplex breaker require?
This quadplex breaker requires two standard 1-inch spaces in an Eaton Type BR load center. It provides two separate 2-pole 30A circuits in a compact footprint, allowing for more circuits in a limited space.
Can the Eaton BRD230230 replace older Cutler-Hammer quad breakers?
Yes, Eaton and Cutler-Hammer BR series breakers are interchangeable. The BRD230230 serves as a direct replacement for older Cutler-Hammer BQ230230 non-CTL quadplex breakers.
Will this breaker fit in a CH series load center?
No, the BRD230230 is exclusively for Type BR load centers. It is a 1-inch format breaker and will not fit in CH series panels, which require 3/4-inch breakers.
What applications are suitable for a dual 2-pole 30A quad breaker?
It provides two independent 240V, 30A circuits. This configuration is typically used to supply power to two separate 30A loads, such as a residential electric dryer and a water heater, from a single breaker block.
Does the BRD230230 require a notched bus bar for installation?
No. Because it is a non-CTL breaker, it does not have a rejection clip. It can be installed on standard bus stabs in compatible non-CTL panels, unlike CTL breakers that require a notched bus bar.
