Overview
The Eaton BQC2302115 is a quad molded case circuit breaker designed for branch circuit and supplementary protection in residential and light commercial applications. This unit combines one 2-pole 30-amp breaker with two single-pole 15-amp breakers in a single plug-on module, delivering reliable overcurrent protection for 120/240VAC systems. The BQC2302115 series has established a proven track record in the field, offering thermal-magnetic operation with fixed instantaneous and long-time trip characteristics.
Key Features
