BQ2502115 - Quadplex 50/15 Circuit Breaker

BQ2502115 - Quadplex 50/15 Circuit Breaker

The Eaton BQ2502115 Type BQ Quadplex Circuit Breaker combines two 15-amp single-pole breakers and one 50-amp two-pole breaker in a single assembly for Eaton Type BR loadcenters. Its quadplex configuration allows two 120-volt circuits and one 240-volt circuit to occupy a single breaker space.

You'll commonly find the BQ2502115 installed where standard branch circuits and a larger 240-volt load are supplied from the same panel. Typical applications include lighting circuits, receptacles, HVAC equipment, electric water heaters, compressors, pumps, and workshop equipment.

The breaker features a thermal magnetic trip mechanism, plug-on installation, and Eaton's rejection tab feature for use in compatible BR loadcenters. It is rated for 120/240 VAC, carries a 10 kAIC interrupting rating, and is compatible with both copper and aluminum conductors. The BQ2502115 is UL 489 Listed and HACR rated for approved heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration applications.
