About this item

Cutler‑Hammer BQ220230 Circuit Breaker – Quad 20/30 Amp, Type BQ:

The Cutler‑Hammer BQ220230 quad circuit breaker is a space‑saving thermal‑magnetic breaker engineered to provide reliable overcurrent protection while maximizing load center capacity. Designed for use in compatible Cutler‑Hammer and Eaton Type BR load centers, this quad breaker allows two independent 2‑pole circuits to be installed in the space of two standard breaker positions.

The BQ220230 combines two 20‑amp poles and two 30‑amp poles into a single compact unit. This configuration makes it ideal for panel upgrades, remodels, and applications where additional circuits are required but panel space is limited. The 2‑pole common trip design ensures proper disconnection of multi‑wire and 240‑volt circuits, delivering enhanced safety and code compliance.

Built to Cutler‑Hammer’s proven quality standards, the BQ220230 breaker provides consistent tripping performance, durable construction, and dependable protection against overloads and short circuits. It is widely trusted by electricians, contractors, and maintenance professionals for residential and light commercial installations.
