Eaton CVS2175 Molded Case Circuit Breaker - 42 kAIC
Part Number: CVS2175
Quick Summary
Eaton CVS2175 Molded Case Circuit Breaker protects electrical circuits by interrupting fault currents in industrial power distribution. When uptime is critical, you need a breaker that wires quickly, delivers reliable trip performance, and fits seamlessly into CV frame panels. This device carries UL 489 and CSA Std. C22.2 No. 5 certifications, ensuring compliance across North American installations, with a limited lifetime warranty for long-term assurance. With a compact 7.5 in length and a 2-pole design rated at 175 A, it provides efficient installation and robust protection, reducing field rework and simplifying maintenance for panel builders and end-users alike. Secondary considerations such as wire compatibility (#6-4/0 kcmil) and load-center integration reinforce its value in commercial and industrial power distribution.

Eaton Specification Sheet - CVS2175
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The CVS2175’s 175 A amperage rating protects feeders and equipment from overloads, minimizing voltage dips and equipment wear in motor control centers and distribution panels. This translates to reduced maintenance costs and longer equipment life in harsh industrial environments. Feature → 42 kAIC interrupt rating provides high fault-current tolerance, enabling fast, reliable interruption during short-circuits and safeguarding downstream devices; critical for high-load facilities like OEM assembly lines and process plants where uptime is essential. Feature → Terminals sized for #6-4/0 kcmil line and load allows direct Cu/Al wiring, simplifying field wiring and reducing panel completion time, which improves overall project schedules. Feature → Two-pole design ensures compact integration in narrow panels, saving cabinet space and enabling cleaner, safer installations in retrofit or new-build projects. Feature → CV frame compatibility and standard dimensions (7.5 in x 5 in x 3.5 in) support predictable installation footprints, easing retrofits and substitutions across legacy systems. Feature → Limited lifetime warranty and UL 489 CSA certification reassure buyers about long-term reliability and regulatory compliance, lowering risk and total cost of ownership for panel builders and operators.

FAQs
The CVS2175 is designed for CV frame panel boards and accepts wire sizes #6-4/0 Cu/Al with terminals suitable for direct wiring. Its dimensions (7.5 in L x 5 in H x 3.5 in W) and two-pole configuration support compact installations, while its 2-pole design helps maximize panel space in retrofit or new-build projects. Ensure enclosure clearance and conductor routing meet accessory and code requirements per UL 489 and CSA standards.
Key specs include a 175 A amperage rating and a 42 kAIC interrupt rating, enabling protection of feeders and connected equipment against short circuits up to 42 kA at the line side. The unit is a molded case circuit breaker with a CV frame designed for two-pole configurations, suitable for medium-duty protection in industrial power distributions. These specs support reliable tripping and minimized fault energy transfer in demanding environments.
CVS2175 is a two-pole molded case circuit breaker, optimized for two-pole installations in CV frame panels. It is not intended for three-pole or multi-pole assemblies. For applications requiring higher pole configurations, select a different frame or breaker type compatible with the panel design and protection requirements.
CVS2175 carries UL 489 and CSA Std. C22.2 No. 5 certifications, signaling adherence to recognized safety and performance standards for low-voltage protection devices. These certifications facilitate code compliance in North America, streamline approvals for electrical assemblies, and support contractor confidence when sourcing protective devices for panels and load centers.
The CVS2175’s limited lifetime warranty reduces long-term ownership risk, while its reliable 42 kAIC interrupt rating and UL/CSA certifications support predictable protection performance. Its compact size and straightforward wiring minimize installation time and potential field errors, contributing to shorter project timelines, reduced downtime, and lower total cost of ownership in factory floors and distribution environments.
