FAQs
CVS2080W uses a terminal-free configuration, which simplifies wire routing and reduces hardware count. Plan for proper bus connections within CV frame panels, ensure compatibility with #6-4/0 AWG Cu/Al conductors, and verify space within the enclosure for the 7.5 in L × 5 in H × 3.5 in W footprint. Follow standard torque and mounting practices per UL 489 guidance.
The CVS2080W is an 80 A, two-pole molded case circuit breaker with a 42 kAIC interrupt rating. This means it can interrupt large fault currents without sustaining damage, protecting feeders and downstream devices. It is suitable for main protection in distribution panels and load centers, delivering reliable performance in both copper and aluminum wiring.
Yes. With a 42 kAIC interrupt rating and UL 489/CSA certifications, the CVS2080W provides robust fault protection and regulatory compliance for critical industrial applications. Its compact CV frame and quick-installation design help minimize downtime during commissioning and future upgrades, supporting continuous operation in demanding environments.
The CVS2080W carries UL 489 and CSA certifications, signaling adherence to recognized safety and performance standards for low-voltage circuit breakers. These certifications ease procurement audits, support warranty eligibility, and satisfy customer requirements in regulated sectors such as manufacturing, data centers, and commercial buildings.
The terminal-free design reduces installation time and potential wiring errors, while the limited lifetime warranty lowers lifecycle maintenance costs. Combined with a high 42 kAIC interrupt rating, the CVS2080W minimizes downtime and replacement frequency, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership in panel upgrades and new builds.
