Eaton Specification Sheet - CVH3225W
The 225 A rating combined with a 100 kAIC interrupt rating delivers robust fault protection for feeder circuits and main lines. This reduces downtime and protects critical loads in distribution panels, contributing to higher overall equipment effectiveness in manufacturing and processing facilities. The CV frame type ensures consistent trip characteristics and compatibility with Eaton accessories, while the without terminals configuration simplifies field wiring in tight spaces and supports reliable lug connections with #6-4/0 AWG Cu/Al conductors. The three-pole design ensures simultaneous disconnect across all phases, improving safety during maintenance and preventing unbalanced fault conditions in control panels. UL 489 and CSA Std. C22.2 No. 5 certifications provide regulatory confidence for North American panel builders. Warranty is a Limited lifetime, which lowers long-term ownership costs. Compact dimensions (7.5 in L × 5 in W × 5 in H) and a weight of 4.4 lb enable easy rack mounting and logistics, while copper/aluminum wire compatibility supports flexible installation across facilities with diverse conductor practices.

FAQs
The CVH3225W ships without terminals; you should select Eaton field-installable lug kits or compatible termination accessories and use #6-4/0 AWG Cu/Al conductors. Ensure proper torque, insulation, and code compliance per UL 489 and CSA standards. This approach simplifies mounting in tight panels while preserving conductor integrity.
Yes. The CVH3225W uses the CV frame type and three-pole design, aligning with Eaton CV family products. Verify panel bus connections and mounting clearance, and use compatible mounting hardware and lug accessories. This ensures proper coordination with upstream and downstream protection devices while maintaining safe operating clearances.
CVH3225W is ideal for main protection in industrial control panels, switchgear, and distribution boards within manufacturing environments, data centers, and process facilities. Its 225 A rating and 100 kAIC interrupt capability support reliable protection for critical loads, reducing fault-related downtime and enabling safer maintenance practices in high-energy systems.
CVH3225W carries UL 489 and CSA Std. C22.2 No. 5 certifications, signaling compliance with widely adopted North American electrical safety and performance standards. This provides confidence for panel builders and installers, simplifies procurement, and supports regulatory acceptance during audits and safety reviews.
The CVH3225W offers a limited lifetime warranty and robust fault protection which helps reduce unplanned downtime and maintenance costs. Its installation efficiency, compatibility with common Cu/Al conductors, and durable design support longer service intervals, lower replacement frequency, and improved lifecycle cost stability for critical power distribution applications.
