FAQs
CVS2150 is designed for industrial distribution panels and load centers where reliable overcurrent protection is required. Its 150 A rating and 42 kAIC interrupt capability make it suitable for manufacturing lines, process controls, and critical power distribution applications where space is at a premium and wiring must remain flexible. It supports two-pole configurations common in panelboards.
The CVS2150 is a 150 A molded case circuit breaker with a 42 kAIC interrupt rating. It uses a CV frame, two-pole design, and accepts #6-4/0 kcmil line and load conductors in Cu/Al. These specifications ensure effective protection against overcurrent while enabling compatible installation in standard Eaton CV distribution systems.
Installation starts with verifying panel suitability for a CV frame breaker, then mounting the CVS2150 in the designated two-pole slots. Terminate the line and load conductors with #6-4/0 Cu/Al per manufacturer torque specs, ensuring proper conductor seating and crimping. The compact dimensions (7.5 in x 5 in x 3.5 in) help fit into crowded panels without remodeling.
Yes. CVS2150 carries UL 489 and CSA Std. C22.2 No. 5 certifications, confirming compliance with North American safety and performance standards. This facilitates code compliance, easier procurement, and streamlined commissioning in both U.S. and Canadian facilities.
The CVS2150’s limited lifetime warranty and robust 42 kAIC interrupt rating help reduce downtime costs by providing dependable fault interruption and long service life. Its compatibility with the Eaton CV family simplifies spare parts, reduces inventory complexity, and supports predictable maintenance cycles in high-demand production environments.
