Product FAQs
5 answersWhich electrical panels can accept the BQ225230 quad breaker?
This Type BR plug-on breaker is designed for Eaton BR load centers. It is also fully compatible with legacy Bryant, Westinghouse, and Challenger panels that use 1-inch plug-on breakers.
How much panel space does this quadplex breaker require?
The BQ225230 provides two independent 240V circuits, one 25A and one 30A, while only occupying two standard 1-inch spaces in the load center. This configuration is ideal for maximizing capacity in full panels.
What wire sizes are compatible with the terminals on the BQ225230?
The box lugs on this breaker are rated to accept both copper and aluminum conductors ranging from 14 AWG to 4 AWG.
Can this breaker be used to replace older Bryant or Westinghouse quad breakers?
Yes. Because Eaton acquired the Cutler-Hammer, Bryant, and Westinghouse breaker lines, the BQ225230 serves as the direct replacement for older 25/30A quad breakers from those legacy brands.
What type of trip mechanism does this breaker use?
It features a thermal-magnetic trip unit with long-time and instantaneous (LI) functions, providing reliable protection against both gradual overloads and sudden short circuits.
