Eaton CVS2150X Molded Case Circuit Breaker - 42 kAIC
Part Number: CVS2150X
Quick Summary
The Eaton CVS2150X Molded Case Circuit Breaker provides precise overcurrent protection for low-voltage distribution panels. In practice, downtime and equipment damage often occur when protection devices cannot handle high fault currents or fit within limited panel space. UL 489 and CSA Std. C22.2 No. 5 certifications provide the baseline for compliance; in global markets, CE marking and IP-related expectations often accompany this level of protection. With a compact CV frame, 150 A rating, 42 kAIC interrupt rating, and Cu/Al terminal compatibility, it supports scalable protection while simplifying procurement and installation. Choosing CVS2150X helps reduce downtime and supports compliant, cost-effective panel protection across industrial and commercial applications.
