Feature: 90 ampere rating provides precise overcurrent protection for motor and process circuits. Business Impact: limits equipment damage and reduces unplanned downtime, improving line reliability in manufacturing and distribution environments. Application: ideal for panelboards and control cabinets that demand dependable 90 A protection with scalable coordination to upstream devices. Feature: 42 kAIC interrupt rating enables rapid fault clearance for high-energy systems. Business Impact: minimizes arc exposure, enhances personnel safety, and improves overall plant uptime. Application: suitable for MCCs and switchgear where fault currents exceed lower ratings. Feature: CV frame compatibility and two-pole design support modular Eaton protection across CV-series panels. Business Impact: streamlines inventory, simplifies replacement, and lowers maintenance training costs. Application: retrofit or new builds in industrial facilities requiring consistent frame design across cabinets. Feature: Terminals and conductor capacity (#6-4/0 AWG Cu/Al; #4/0 kcmil maximum line) enable robust wiring and straightforward termination. Business Impact: reduces field rework, improves torque consistency, and ensures reliable long-term connections. Application: large feeders in heavy-duty electrical installations. Feature: Compact footprint (7.5 in L × 5 in H × 3.5 in W), 2.75 lb weight, and limited lifetime warranty. Business Impact: saves panel space, lowers shipping and installation costs, and provides long-term cost predictability. Application: space-constrained switchgear and control panels in manufacturing and infrastructure systems.
