The Eaton BQL330 is a bolt-on breaker from Eaton's BQL series, designed to mount in compatible Eaton/Cutler-Hammer bolt-on style panelboards — it is not a plug-in BR or CH breaker and will not interchange with those series. At 3-pole, 30 A, 240 V, 10 kA AIC, it is well suited for industrial sub-panels, commercial panelboards, and dedicated 240 V loads such as hot tubs, HVAC equipment, and three-phase or split-phase motor circuits requiring bolt-on retention.
Bolt-on breakers are typically used where vibration resistance or code requirements mandate a secured connection. Not compatible with residential plug-in loadcentres. Send us your panelboard model and we'll confirm fitment before you order.
The BQL series uses a bolt-on mounting design, where the breaker is physically bolted to the bus bar rather than snapping onto it. This provides a more secure, vibration-resistant connection and is required in certain commercial or industrial applications. It is not interchangeable with Eaton's BR (plug-in) or CH (plug-in) residential breakers, which use a different bus connection method.
Yes — a 3-pole, 30 A, 240 V breaker like the BQL330 is commonly used for hot tub and spa circuits. However, Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) Section 68 has specific requirements for hot tub installations, including GFCI protection and disconnect placement. Always confirm with a licensed electrician that the BQL330 meets the exact requirements of your installation and local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).
