Quad 1-Inch design with four poles and a compact footprint simplifies panel layouts and reduces wiring complexity, delivering space efficiency and easier installation in BR Loadcenters. By aligning with the Eaton BR family, technicians can swap devices without reconfiguring buses or meters. This unit provides (2) 20A and (2) 50A protection, 120/240 V, enabling precise coordination for mixed loads in industrial controls, conveyors, and machinery feeders. The 10 kAIC interrupt rating ensures robust fault interruption even in high-energy systems, reducing the risk of arc flash and equipment damage. UL 489 certification and Federal Specifications W-C375 support code compliance and procurement consistency across projects. Catalog notes show Non-CTL, indicating compatibility within non-CTL panel configurations. With a 2.5 in depth, 3.2 in height, and 2 in width, and a weight of 0.8 lb, BRD220250 fits standard BR load centers without requiring custom mounting hardware. Wiring is straightforward for #14-4 AWG Cu/Al, enabling reliable connection for a variety of branch circuits. In practice, engineers appreciate the predictable performance of BR devices, which translates into lower spare-part inventories and shorter maintenance windows. As part of a modular protection strategy, this breaker supports scalable panel architectures and quicker changeouts during line upgrades.
