Cutler-Hammer BQ215240 2 Pole Circuit Breaker
The Cutler-Hammer BQ215240 2 Pole Circuit Breaker is a quad circuit breaker that can be used with 14 To 4 AWG (Aluminum/Copper) wire size. It combines overload protection and overcurrent safety with its reliable thermal-magnetic mechanism. This HACR rated device offers overload protection to air conditioning heating and refrigeration equipment. In case of a short circuit the high current passes through an electromagnet coil and generates enough field strength to attract a nearby armature thus causing a trip which cuts off the power supply. The circuit breaker is easy to install with a plug-on mounting that can be affixed to most surfaces. The BQ215240 has voltage and interrupting ratings of 120/240 VAC and 10 kAIC respectively.
