Product FAQs
6 answersWhat panels accept the BQ220230 quadplex breaker?
This Type BQ plug-on breaker is compatible with Eaton BR load centers, as well as legacy Westinghouse, Bryant, and Challenger load centers that accept 1-inch BR-style breakers.
How many panel spaces are required to install the BQ220230?
This quadplex breaker requires two standard 1-inch spaces in the panel, allowing you to add four circuits in the space of two.
What is the difference between Type BQ and Type BQC quadplex breakers?

Yes, this Type BQ quadplex breaker is UL listed for Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration (HACR) applications.
How are the 20A and 30A circuits arranged on this quadplex breaker?
The two 20-amp circuits are located on the outer poles, while the 30-amp circuit is located on the two center poles.
