Eaton Specification Sheet - CVS2100
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The CVS2100 is a CV molded case breaker rated at 100 A with a 42 kAIC interrupt rating, delivering robust fault protection. This combination minimizes nuisance trips and protects critical loads in demanding industrial control panels. Application: Ideal for two-pole installations in machine controls, power distribution blocks, and panel boards where compact, reliable protection is essential. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Terminals accept #6-4/0 kcmil line and load for Cu/Al, enabling versatile wiring without adapters. This flexibility shortens wiring time, reduces error potential, and improves field termination consistency in panel assemblies. Application: Suits main feeders, motor starters, and distribution feeders in industrial environments where diverse conductor sizes are common. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The compact 7.5 in length, 5 in height, and 3.5 in width plus a 2.75 lb weight enable easier mounting in tight control cabinets. This smaller footprint minimizes panel depth and simplifies retrofits, reducing shipping and installation costs. Application: Suitable for retrofit projects and OEM panel builds in spaces where maximizing enclosure volume is critical, such as automotive and packaging lines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: UL 489 and CSA Std. C22.2 No. 5 certifications provide strong regulatory grounding, while a limited lifetime warranty supports long-term ROI. This combination reduces compliance risk for engineering teams and extends service life in harsh industrial settings. Application: Ideal for regulated facilities, data centers, and energy distribution systems requiring proven, codified protection. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The CVS2100 catalog number and CV frame compatibility streamline sourcing and interchangeability across Eaton CV devices. This consistency lowers procurement lead times and reduces part-mismatch incidents in maintenance workflows. Application: Procurement and spares stocking for panel builders and service contractors handling CV-series MCCBs. Feature → Business Impact → Application: With a 42 kAIC interrupt rating, the CVS2100 withstands higher fault currents common in modern facilities, improving safety margins. This capability supports reliable startup sequencing for industrial motors and critical loads. Application: Industrial power distribution, motor control centers, and process automation where dependable protection is non-negotiable.
