Eaton / Cutler-Hammer BRDC220220 20/20A Quadplex Miniature Circuit Breaker

The BRDC220220 is a Non-CTL breaker. It does not feature a rejection clip, allowing it to be installed in older non-CTL load centers or modern panels that accept standard 1-inch Type BR breakers without notched bus bars.

The primary difference is the mounting style and panel compatibility. The BQC220220 is a CTL breaker equipped with a rejection clip for use only in panels with notched bus bars. The BRDC220220 is a Non-CTL breaker without the rejection clip, designed for older or un-notched panels.

This breaker provides two separate 2-pole 20-amp circuits in a single unit. The two outer poles are tied together to form one 240V circuit, and the two inner poles are tied together to form a second 240V circuit.

It features a common trip mechanism for both the inner and outer pole pairs. If one leg of either 240V circuit experiences an overload or short circuit, both poles for that specific circuit will trip simultaneously.

Despite providing four poles and two separate 240V circuits, this quadplex breaker only requires two standard 1-inch spaces in an Eaton BR load center.

Yes, Eaton manufactures the BR line, which is fully backward compatible with legacy Cutler-Hammer, Bryant, and Westinghouse Type BR load centers. It directly replaces older BRD220220 models.

Yes, Eaton Type BRD quadplex breakers are HACR rated, making them suitable for use with heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment that requires this specific rating.
