Description
Engineered for space efficiency, the BQC220220 provides two separate 20-amp, 240-volt circuits from a single device. This plug-on quadplex breaker installs into Eaton Type BR load centers, utilizing a CTL rejection tab to ensure proper placement in compatible panels. It effectively doubles the circuit density of a standard two-pole slot. Rated for 10kAIC at 120/240VAC, it includes common trip mechanisms for both 20A circuits and carries an HACR rating for safe use with HVAC equipment.Specifications

Product FAQs
7 answersWhat load centers are compatible with the Eaton BQC220220?
This breaker is designed for use in Eaton, Cutler-Hammer, Bryant, and Westinghouse Type BR load centers. It is a CTL (Circuit Total Limitation) breaker and must be installed in slots approved for tandem or quadplex breakers.
Does the BQC220220 require a notched bus bar for installation?
Yes. It includes a CTL rejection tab on the bus connection side, which requires a notched bus stab in the panel to ensure it is only installed in permitted spaces.
What is the difference between Eaton BQC and BQ quadplex breakers?
Type BQC breakers, like the BQC220220, feature a common trip mechanism where both poles of the 240V circuit trip synchronously. Type BQ breakers feature an independent trip function.
How many panel spaces does this quadplex breaker occupy?
The BQC220220 provides two independent 2-pole 20A circuits while only occupying two standard 1-inch panel spaces, maximizing panel density.
Will the BQC220220 replace older Bryant or Westinghouse quad breakers?
Yes. Eaton acquired Cutler-Hammer, Bryant, and Westinghouse distribution equipment. The BQC220220 is the direct, UL-listed replacement for older Type BR quadplex breakers from these legacy brands.
What type of wire can be used with the BQC220220 terminals?
The plug-on breaker features box lugs that accept both Copper (Cu) and Aluminum (Al) wire, accommodating gauges from 14 AWG to 4 AWG.
Is the Eaton BQC220220 suitable for HVAC applications?
Yes. This breaker is HACR rated, meaning it is approved for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires HACR-rated circuit protection.
