Delivering two 50A double-pole circuits in a single quadplex unit, the Eaton BRD250250 provides a space-saving solution for residential panels.

Product FAQs

6 answers
What load centers are compatible with the Eaton BRD250250 quad breaker?

This breaker is designed for use in Eaton, Cutler-Hammer, and legacy Bryant Type BR load centers and meter breaker panels that accept non-CTL plug-on breakers.

What is the difference between the BRD250250 and the BQ250250?

The BRD250250 is a non-CTL breaker, meaning it does not have a rejection clip and can be installed in older panels without notched bus bars. The BQ250250 is the CTL version of the same 50/50A quad breaker and includes a rejection tab for use in newer CTL-compliant panels.

How many panel spaces does the BRD250250 require?

As a quadplex breaker, it provides two separate 50A double-pole circuits while only occupying two standard 1-inch spaces in your electrical panel.

How is the amperage configured on the BRD250250 quad breaker?

This unit features two 50A double-pole circuits. The outer two poles form one 50A 240V circuit, and the inner two poles form a second 50A 240V circuit.

What size wire is required for the BRD250250?

The box lug terminals on this breaker accept copper or aluminum wiring ranging from 14 AWG to 4 AWG. Always size your conductors according to the 50A circuit requirements and local electrical codes.

Is the Eaton BRD250250 HACR rated?

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