Description

Built to optimize circuit density, the Eaton BRD220250 packages a 50A 240V inner circuit and two 20A 120V outer circuits into a compact quadplex design. It provides a reliable solution for expanding capacity in existing residential electrical systems. This non-CTL breaker is engineered for legacy Type BR panelboards that do not utilize rejection tabs. It is the exact replacement for the older BQ220250 model. It features independent trip on the outer poles and common trip on the inner poles.

Product FAQs

5 answers
Can I use the BRD220250 to replace an older BQ220250 breaker?

Yes, the BRD220250 is the exact, direct replacement for the discontinued Cutler-Hammer BQ220250. It shares the same physical dimensions, non-CTL design, and electrical ratings.

What is the difference between the BRD220250 and the BQC220250?

The BRD220250 is a non-CTL breaker without a rejection tab, designed for older legacy Type BR panels. The BQC220250 is the CTL version, which includes a rejection tab and is required for modern panels that enforce Circuit Total Limiting.

How are the 20A and 50A circuits arranged on this quadplex breaker?

The BRD220250 integrates a 50A 2-pole inner circuit with a common trip for 240V applications, and two independent 20A 1-pole outer circuits for 120V branch circuits.

How much panel space does the BRD220250 require?

This quadplex breaker requires two standard 1-inch spaces in a compatible Eaton or Cutler-Hammer Type BR load center, allowing you to fit four poles of protection into a two-pole footprint.

Is the BRD220250 HACR rated?

Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires this specific listing.
