Description
Part of the BQ series, the Eaton BQC220250 is a quadplex breaker providing one 20A and one 50A two-pole circuit. This configuration allows for two independent 240V loads while conserving enclosure real estate. The plug-on unit mounts into Eaton Type BR load centers, fitting four poles into just two standard panel spaces. Rated at 10 kAIC for 120/240VAC systems, it features common trip mechanisms for both circuits and includes a rejection tab (CTL) for proper panel placement.Specifications

Product FAQs
6 answersWhat is the difference between Eaton BQ and BQC quad breakers?
BQ quadplex breakers feature independent trip functions, while BQC breakers feature a common trip. The BQC220250 has common trip mechanisms for both the 20A and 50A two-pole circuits, ensuring both hot legs disconnect simultaneously during a fault.
How are the 20A and 50A circuits arranged on the BQC220250?
The outer two poles make up the 20A common trip circuit, while the center two poles make up the 50A common trip circuit.
What type of load centers accept the BQC220250 breaker?
This breaker is designed for Eaton Type BR load centers that support CTL (Circuit Total Limitation) breakers. The panel must have notched bus stabs to accept the rejection tab on the breaker.
Can the BQC220250 replace older Bryant or Westinghouse quad breakers?
Yes, Eaton BR series breakers are UL listed to replace legacy Bryant, Westinghouse, and Challenger BR style circuit breakers in compatible load centers.
Does this quadplex breaker include a rejection tab?
Yes, the BQC220250 is a CTL rated breaker and includes a rejection tab on the bus connection side. This prevents installation in panel spaces that are not designed for tandem or quadplex breakers.
Is the BQC220250 rated for HVAC equipment?
Yes, Eaton BQC quadplex circuit breakers carry a listing for HACR (Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration) applications.
