FAQs
The CVS2200X uses a two-pole CV frame design and accepts conductors up to #4/0 kcmil, with Cu/Al wire in the range #6-4/0 AWG. This makes it straightforward to drop into common load centers and panel boards without exotic accessories. Its compact footprint simplifies mounting in tight electrical spaces, and the UL 489/CSA certifications help ensure code-compliant installations.
Key ratings include a 200 A amperage rating and a 42 kAIC interrupt rating, suitable for industrial feeders and main circuits. The device is a two-pole molded case circuit breaker with a CV frame, designed to interrupt fault currents rapidly while limiting arc energy. Wire compatibility covers #6-4/0 AWG Cu/Al, supporting robust connection to large conductors.
Yes, for applications requiring high fault current interruption and reliable main protection, the CVS2200X is well-suited to industrial machinery panels and distributed load centers. The 42 kAIC rating provides margin for higher fault currents common in manufacturing environments, while its two-pole design fits typical 240/120 V systems used in control panels.
The CVS2200X complies with UL 489 and CSA Std. C22.2 No. 5, confirming conformance to North American safety and performance requirements. These certifications support code compliance in commercial and industrial installations and reduce the risk of nonconforming equipment impacting project timelines.
With a limited lifetime warranty and a robust 200 A/42 kAIC specification, the CVS2200X offers long-term reliability that reduces unplanned outages. Standardization on the CV frame across panels simplifies stocking, maintenance, and training, delivering lower downstream costs and faster repair times in plant environments.
