Eaton BQ230250 30A 50A Quadplex Double Pole Circuit Breaker

Product Description

The EATON CORPORATION BQ230250 is a quadplex double pole circuit breaker combining a 30-amp and a 50-amp pole pair in a single 2-inch case. Rated for 120/240-volt residential and light commercial panelboards, it provides overcurrent protection for two separate branch circuits from one breaker slot footprint. The quadplex design conserves panel space without sacrificing independent trip protection on each circuit. Licensed electricians install this breaker when upgrading panels, adding circuits, or replacing failed overcurrent devices in compatible load centers.

This breaker suits residential service panels and light commercial distribution boards requiring two double-pole circuits in a space-saving form factor. The 2-inch case width fits standard tandem-capable panel slots. Typical applications include dual appliance circuits, subpanel feeds, and HVAC equipment branch circuits where two separate 240-volt loads must be protected within a single breaker position.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize the panel and verify absence of voltage at the bus bars before handling any breaker or wiring. Confirm the load center manufacturer's breaker acceptance list accepts the BQ230250 before installing. Never install a breaker in a panel slot for which it is not listed or approved.
