Eaton Specification Sheet - CVS2200Y3
Feature: 200 A operating current and two-pole design provide robust main protection for industrial panelboards. Business Impact: Reduces the risk of overcurrents across large motor starting currents and distribution feeders, lowering downtime and equipment wear. Application: Ideal as the CV frame main breaker in industrial load centers and control panels. Feature: 42 kAIC interrupt rating enhances fault energy handling and minimizes damage to upstream equipment. Business Impact: Improves overall system reliability and short-circuit tolerance, aiding compliance with safety standards. Application: Suitable for heavy-load industrial sites where high fault current is expected. Feature: Copper/aluminum wire compatibility (#6-4/0 AWG Cu/Al) and max line size of #300 kcmil with terminal shield option. Business Impact: Enables flexible conductor choices and cleaner terminations, reducing installation time and risk of improper terminations. Application: Critical for power distribution mains feeding large equipment and panel feeders. Feature: CV frame compatibility and precise dimensions (7.5 in L, 5 in H, 3.5 in W) with a weight of 2.75 lb. Business Impact: Supports compact, modular installations with predictable space planning and easier retrofits. Application: Fits standard Eaton CV frame assemblies in new builds or upgrades. Feature: Warranty and certifications (Limited lifetime; CSA UL 489). Business Impact: Provides long-term protection policy and regulatory confidence, reducing total cost of ownership. Application: Useful for compliance-driven procurement and long-term asset management in plants.

FAQs
The CVS2200Y3 is a 200 A, two-pole molded case circuit breaker with a 42 kAIC interrupt rating. It uses a CV frame and accepts #6-4/0 AWG Cu/Al conductors, with a maximum line size of #300 kcmil. This combination provides robust main protection for moderate to high-demand industrial panels.
Yes. CVS2200Y3 is designed for the CV frame and integrates with Eaton CV-based load centers and panelboards. Its dimensions (7.5 in L x 5 in H x 3.5 in W) and mounting approach are optimized for straightforward retrofits, ensuring reliable fit and streamlined installation in existing CV frame systems.
The CVS2200Y3 carries CSA Std. C22.2 No. 5 and UL 489 certifications. These approvals confirm compliance with North American electrical safety and performance standards, helping ensure regulatory adherence and safer operation in industrial environments.
CVS2200Y3 supports conductor sizes from #6 AWG to 4/0 AWG for Cu/Al with a maximum line rating of #300 kcmil. For the largest conductor option, a terminal shield is required, and you must add 1.50 inches (38.1 mm) to the breaker length as noted in catalog notes.
When using #300 kcmil conductors, you must employ a terminal shield and account for an additional 1.50 inches in breaker length. Verify panel clearance, mounting clearances, and ensure compatibility with shield accessories to maintain proper termination and maintain fault current performance over the device’s lifetime.
