Eaton Specification Sheet - CVS2225LL3
High amperage rating and fault interruption: The CVS2225LL3 delivers 225 A with a 42 kAIC interrupt rating in a compact two-pole CV frame package. This combination reduces exposure time to fault currents, protecting conductors and equipment and reducing the risk of insulation damage. It is ideal for main protection in load centers, motor feeders, and panel boards in industrial facilities. Frame compatibility and installation efficiency: As a CV frame molded case breaker, it integrates with standard CV panel layouts, enabling plug‑and‑play replacements and consistent bus interfaces. This reduces wiring mistakes and commissioning time, delivering faster project turnover and lower installation labor costs. The two‑pole design supports straightforward configuration in shared-neutral or single-circuit applications. Conductor and terminal versatility: Terminals are rated for #6-4/0 AWG Cu/Al and line/load up to #300 kcmil, providing flexibility for wide feeder configurations. This minimizes the need for adapters or rewiring during upgrades, cutting material costs and downtime when integrating with existing feeders or planning future expansion. The design also supports reliable torque and clamp performance across temperatures. Compact footprint and installation ease: With 11.37 in length, 6.2 in height, and 6.3 in width, plus a 4 lb weight, the CVS2225LL3 fits neatly into crowded distribution panels. The smaller footprint enables cleaner wiring routes and faster panel assembly, which is especially beneficial in retrofit projects or limited-space installations. Reliability, warranty, and compliance: A limited lifetime warranty pairs with CSA and UL 489 certifications to provide long-term reliability and regulatory confidence. This combination supports reduced maintenance costs, fewer spare parts, and smoother audits in facilities with stringent electrical safety and performance requirements. Operational resilience for industrial environments: The breaker is designed to perform consistently under typical factory conditions, including temperature variations and vibration. This resilience improves uptime and return on investment across the lifecycle of control panels, switchgear, and downstream distribution equipment.
