Description

The BRD230250 is a non-CTL quadplex breaker from Eaton. It saves space by combining two 30A single-pole circuits and one 50A double-pole circuit into a two-inch footprint. This plug-on unit installs into Eaton and legacy Bryant Type BR load centers lacking CTL rejection tabs. It replaces the discontinued BQ230250. Rated for 10kAIC at 120/240V, it features independent trip outer poles and common trip inner poles. The HACR-rated design provides thermal-magnetic protection.

Product FAQs

5 answers
Which load centers are compatible with the BRD230250 quad breaker?

This breaker is designed for use in legacy Eaton, Cutler-Hammer, and Bryant Type BR load centers that accept non-CTL plug-on breakers. It lacks a rejection clip and should not be used in modern panels that require CTL breakers.

How are the 30A and 50A circuits arranged on the BRD230250?

This quadplex breaker is configured with two 30A independent trip outer poles and two 50A independent trip inner poles. This allows you to supply two separate 240V loads while only occupying two standard one-inch spaces in the panel.

What is the difference between the BRD230250, BQ230250, and BQC230250?

The BRD230250 is a non-CTL breaker with independent trip poles for older panels. The BQ230250 is the CTL version with independent trip, featuring a rejection tab for modern panels. The BQC230250 is a CTL breaker that features common trip poles, which is often required by modern electrical codes for 240V circuits.

Can I use the BRD230250 if my local code requires a common trip breaker?

No. The BRD230250 utilizes independent trip mechanisms. If your jurisdiction requires a common trip for 240V circuits, you must use a common trip variant like the BRDC230250 (non-CTL) or BQC230250 (CTL), depending on your panel type.

Is the BRD230250 suitable for HVAC equipment?

Yes, this breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires a 30A or 50A circuit.
