Description

Part of Eaton's BR family, the BQ215250 quadplex breaker combines a 15A two-pole and a 50A two-pole circuit. This configuration accommodates heavy-duty appliances without requiring a costly panel upgrade. The breaker mounts into standard Eaton BR load centers and remains backward compatible with legacy Westinghouse, Bryant, and Challenger panelboards. It substitutes for BRD215250 and BQC215250 models. Rated for 10 kAIC at 120/240V, it includes a rejection tab for CTL panel compliance.

Product FAQs

6 answers
Is the Eaton BQ215250 a CTL or non-CTL circuit breaker?

The BQ215250 is a CTL (Circuit Total Limitation) breaker. It features a rejection clip and is designed for use in Eaton BR load centers with notched bus stabs. If your panel does not have notched stabs, you will need a non-CTL breaker like the BRD215250.

How are the 15A and 50A circuits configured on the BQ215250?

This quadplex breaker features a 15A two-pole circuit on the outer poles and a 50A two-pole circuit on the center poles.

Does the BQ215250 feature an independent or common trip?

The BQ215250 features an independent trip function. The outer 15A circuit and the inner 50A circuit trip independently of one another. For a common trip configuration where all poles trip synchronously, you would need a BQC series breaker such as the BQC215250.

Can I use the BQ215250 in older Westinghouse or Bryant panels?

Yes. Eaton BR series breakers, including the BQ215250, are UL listed as genuine replacement breakers for legacy Westinghouse, Bryant, and Challenger load centers that accept Type BR breakers.

How much panel space does the BQ215250 require?

As a quadplex breaker, it provides four poles of protection but only requires two standard 1-inch spaces in your load center. This space-saving design allows you to add circuits without a panel upgrade.

Is the BQ215250 rated for HVAC equipment?

Yes, all Eaton BQ quadplex circuit breakers carry a listing for HACR (Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration) applications, making them suitable for HVAC equipment loads.
