The Eaton BQL2100 is a bolt-on style breaker from Eaton's BQL series, designed to mount in compatible Eaton/Cutler-Hammer bolt-on panelboards — commonly used in commercial and light industrial distribution panels that accept BQL-frame bolt-on breakers. It is not a plug-in (BR or CH) style and will not interchange with Eaton's BR or CH loadcentre families.
At 100A, 2-Pole, 240V with a 10kA interrupting rating, this breaker is well suited as a branch or feeder breaker in bolt-on panelboards of appropriate voltage and AIC ratings. Not intended for standard residential loadcentres.

The BQL series uses a bolt-on mounting method, where the breaker is physically bolted to the bus bar — common in commercial panelboards. Eaton's BR and CH series use a plug-in (snap-on) design for residential and light commercial loadcentres. The two styles are not interchangeable, so it's important to confirm your panel's bus type before ordering.
The BQL2100 is typically applied as a branch or feeder breaker within a bolt-on panelboard. Whether it can serve as a main breaker depends on your specific panel's design and CSA/UL listing. We recommend checking your panel's documentation or contacting our team — we're happy to help you determine the right application.
