Product FAQs
7 answersWhat load centers are compatible with the Eaton BQ230220 quad breaker?
This plug-on quadplex breaker is designed for use in Eaton BR series load centers. It is also backward compatible with legacy Bryant, Westinghouse, and Challenger panels that accept Type BR breakers.
Does the BQ230220 feature a CTL rejection tab?
Yes, this breaker includes a CTL rejection tab. It is designed to fit into notched bus stabs in Circuit Total Limiting load centers to prevent overloading the panel beyond its physical design capacity.
What is the exact circuit configuration of the BQ230220 quadplex breaker?
This quad breaker provides two independent 240V circuits in a single unit. It features one 30A two-pole circuit and one 20A two-pole circuit, allowing you to feed two separate 240V loads while requiring only two standard 1-inch panel spaces.
Is the Eaton BQ230220 rated for HACR applications?
Yes, all Eaton Type BQ quadplex circuit breakers, including the BQ230220, are HACR rated for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
How many panel spaces does the BQ230220 require for installation?
Despite providing four poles of protection for two separate 240V circuits, this quadplex breaker requires only two standard 1-inch spaces in your load center.
Can I use the BQ230220 to replace older Cutler-Hammer quad breakers?
Yes, Eaton manufactures the BQ230220 as the direct, UL listed replacement for older Cutler-Hammer, Bryant, and Westinghouse quad breakers with the same 30A and 20A configuration and Type BR plug-on footprint.
Does this breaker feature independent or common trip operation?
The BQ230220 features independent trip operation between the two separate circuits. A fault on the 30A circuit will not automatically trip the 20A circuit, and vice versa.
