FAQs
CVS2100W is a two-pole CV frame molded case circuit breaker designed for Eaton CV panel centers and compatible distribution gear. It supports #6-4/0 AWG Cu/Al conductors and ships without terminals, enabling flexible lug or bus-bar connections. Ensure installation in compliant enclosures and follow UL 489 and CSA guidelines for proper protection coordination.
The CVS2100W features a 42 kAIC interrupt rating, meaning it can safely interrupt fault currents up to 42 kiloamperes at rated conditions. This reduces upstream damage to feeders and downstream equipment and improves overall system reliability. For optimal protection, coordinate with upstream devices and verify bus and conductor ratings meet system requirements.
The device is designed for commercial and light industrial load centers using the CV frame. It can be used in residential settings where the panel design and terminal requirements align with UL 489 and CSA standards, but always verify panel ratings, mounting, and terminal configurations to ensure full compliance and safe operation.
UL 489 and CSA C22.2 No. 5 certifications validate safety, performance, and protective coordination for circuit breakers in North American installations. They support code compliance, reduce audit risk, and facilitate procurement in regulated environments. Choosing CVS2100W helps ensure your protection scheme remains compliant across panel assemblies and ongoing maintenance.
CVS2100W carries a limited lifetime warranty from Eaton, reflecting durable construction and long service life. For ongoing maintenance, inspect for wear, ensure terminal integrity during installation, and verify operating current matches system design. The device’s compatibility with existing Eaton protection schemes supports predictable lifecycle costs and uptime in mission-critical applications.
