Eaton CVS2175X Molded Case Circuit Breaker - 42 kAIC
Part Number: CVS2175X
Quick Summary
The Molded Case Circuit Breaker CVS2175X by Eaton protects electrical feeders and panel boards in industrial and commercial settings. Choosing an overcurrent device that trips decisively on faults while avoiding nuisance trips in dense electrical spaces can be a challenge. This product carries UL 489 and CSA certification, with a 175 A rating and 42 kAIC interrupt capacity for robust protection. Its CV frame, two‑pole design, and generous terminal capacity simplify integration with existing panels, while #6-4/0 AWG Cu/Al wiring supports flexible, code-compliant installations and long-term reliability. Engineers benefit from consistent performance across temperature ranges and straightforward field servicing, and predictable coordination with downstream devices.

FAQs
Yes. CVS2175X is a two‑pole CVS frame molded case circuit breaker designed for use in CV panel systems. Its 175 A rating and 42 kAIC interrupt capacity align with Eaton CV family dimensions, simplifying replacement without extensive panel modifications. Verify bus bar clearance and terminal sizing (#4/0 kcmil maximum load) during fit checks.
CVS2175X provides a 42 kAIC interrupt rating, enabling rapid interruption of high‑fault currents to protect feeders and equipment. The CV frame is built for robust, repeatable performance, and the unit’s 175 A rating supports mid‑to‑large load centers. This combination reduces the risk of cascading faults and minimizes downtime in manufacturing or process environments.
Terminations accept up to #4/0 kcmil maximum load, with copper or aluminum conductors sized from #6 to 4/0 AWG. This wiring flexibility supports a wide range of feeders and branch circuits, facilitating code‑compliant terminations and reducing the need for adapters. Follow the manufacturer’s torque values and verify conductor insulation type for reliable terminations.
CVS2175X carries UL 489 and CSA Std. C22.2 No. 5 certifications, confirming conformance with recognized North American electrical codes. These certifications support safe integration into commercial and industrial installations, help satisfy procurement specifications, and reduce compliance risk during audits or inspections.
The CVS2175X carries a limited lifetime warranty, reflecting Eaton’s commitment to long‑term reliability. With a robust 175 A rating and 42 kAIC interrupt capacity, maintenance needs are typically infrequent, contributing to lower lifecycle costs. Plan for periodic inspection of terminations and verify replacement parts availability within the Eaton CV ecosystem.
