Product FAQs

7 answers
How many panel spaces does the BQ2252120 require?

This quadplex breaker occupies two standard 1-inch spaces in your electrical panel while providing four independent circuits.

Does this breaker have a rejection clip for CTL panels?

Yes, the BQ2252120 is a CTL (Circuit Total Limiting) breaker. It features a rejection tab and is designed exclusively for panels that are notched to accept tandem or quad breakers.

How are the 20A and 25A circuits configured on this quad breaker?

The breaker features two 20-amp single-pole outer circuits for standard 120V loads, and one 25-amp two-pole inner circuit for a 240V load.

Does the BQ2252120 feature an independent or common trip?

This BQ series breaker features an independent trip mechanism. If your application requires a common trip for the center 25A poles, you will need the BQC2252120 model instead.

Are the 20A single-pole circuits switch duty rated?

Yes, the 20-amp outer poles on this breaker are SWD (Switch Duty) rated, meaning they are approved for switching 120V fluorescent lighting loads on and off on a regular basis.

Is this breaker HACR rated for HVAC equipment?

Yes, all Eaton BQ quadplex breakers carry a listing for HACR applications, making the 25A two-pole center circuit suitable for heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.

Can I use this breaker in an older Westinghouse or Challenger panel?

Yes, the BQ2252120 is a Type BR breaker. It is backward compatible and approved for use in older Westinghouse, Bryant, and Challenger load centers, provided the panel has notched bus bars to accept CTL quad breakers.
