About this item

Cutler‑Hammer BQ230250 Circuit Breaker – Quad 30/50 Amp, Type BQ:

The Cutler‑Hammer BQ230250 quad circuit breaker is a compact, space‑saving thermal‑magnetic breaker designed to deliver dependable overcurrent protection while maximizing capacity in residential and light commercial electrical panels. Engineered for use in compatible Cutler‑Hammer and Eaton Type BR load centers, this breaker allows multiple circuits to be installed where panel space is limited, helping reduce the need for costly panel replacements or sub‑panel installations.

The BQ230250 features two 30‑amp poles and two 50‑amp poles, configured as two independent 2‑pole circuits within a single quad breaker body. This mixed‑amperage design provides flexibility for serving standard branch circuits alongside higher‑load 240‑volt equipment. Each 2‑pole section includes common‑trip functionality to ensure simultaneous disconnection of conductors, enhancing safety and electrical code compliance.

Manufactured to Cutler‑Hammer’s proven quality standards, the BQ230250 offers consistent tripping performance, durable construction, and reliable protection against overloads and short circuits. It is a trusted solution for electricians, contractors, and maintenance professionals performing panel upgrades, remodels, and capacity expansions.
