BQ2402115 - Quadplex 40/15 Circuit Breaker

BQ2402115 - Quadplex 40/15 Circuit Breaker

The Eaton BQ2402115 Type BQ Quadplex Circuit Breaker is designed to provide multiple branch circuits while saving valuable space in Eaton Type BR loadcenters. This compact quadplex assembly combines two 15-amp single-pole breakers and one 40-amp two-pole breaker in a single unit, making it an efficient choice when panel capacity is limited. It's frequently used in panel upgrades, remodeling projects, and equipment additions where multiple circuit sizes are needed in the same location.

You’ll often see the BQ2402115 powering a mix of everyday loads such as lighting circuits, receptacles, small appliances, HVAC systems, water heaters, compressors, pumps, and other dedicated 240-volt equipment. The combination of 15A and 40A circuits allows a variety of electrical loads to be served from a single breaker assembly without sacrificing safety or panel organization.
