BQ230240

The Eaton Cutler-Hammer BQ230240 circuit breaker stands out as a thermal-magnetic quad circuit breaker. It integrates four poles into its design, featuring a distinctive setup with two poles operating at 30 amps for outer circuits and two additional poles rated for 40 amps within the inner configuration. This arrangement addresses diverse circuit requirements, providing flexibility across applications.

With a voltage capacity of 120/240 VAC, the BQ230240 can interrupt electrical flow with an impressive capacity of 10 kAIC, ensuring reliable protection against overcurrent situations. Designed specifically for single-phase applications, it utilizes a thermal-magnetic trip mechanism that allows for effective circuit interruptions. The independent tripping functionality enhances safety by ensuring that fault conditions on one pole do not affect the others, offering comprehensive protection.

This circuit breaker is HACR rated, making it suitable for use in heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration settings. Additionally, it accommodates a range of conductor wire sizes, making it versatile enough to work with wire materials including both copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al), sized from #14 to #4 AWG. Its operating temperature threshold can reach 60°C or 75°C, permitting installation in various environments. Connection to the line side is facilitated through a plug-on method, simplifying the installation process and ensuring easy maintenance.
