FAQs
To install the CVS2150Y, ensure power is de-energized, align the breaker with the CV frame, and secure using the designated mounting provisions. Connect Cu or Al conductors up to #4/0 kcmil for line terminals, following the #6-4/0 AWG range for conductors. Verify two-pole alignment and proper seating before re-energizing and testing trip operation.
The CVS2150Y provides a 42 kAIC interrupt rating, enabling fast clearing of high-mault fault currents. This rating supports reliable protection for industrial feeders and tenant mains in CV load centers, reducing the likelihood of equipment damage during short-circuits.
Yes. The CVS2150Y is specified for Cu/Al termination with wire sizes from #6 to 4/0 AWG, and maximum line connection up to #4/0 kcmil. This provides flexibility for mixed conductor installations and simplifies field terminations in existing or new CV panel installations.
The CVS2150Y carries UL 489 and CSA Std. C22.2 No. 5 certifications. These indicate compliance with recognized safety and performance standards for low-voltage circuit breakers, facilitating code approvals, regulator acceptance, and smoother procurement for code-compliant electrical installations.
The CVS2150Y carries a limited lifetime warranty, which supports lower lifecycle costs by reducing replacement events and downtime. Paired with its CV frame compatibility and high interrupt rating, it delivers dependable protection with predictable maintenance budgets in panel modernization and tenant-main applications.
