Eaton CVS2225W Molded Case Circuit Breaker - UL/CSA
Part Number: CVS2225W
Quick Summary
CVS2225W is a molded case circuit breaker designed to protect electrical distribution panels in industrial settings. In the field, engineers often contend with nuisance trips, undersized wiring, and limited interrupt ratings that jeopardize uptime. This device carries UL 489 and CSA Std. C22.2 No. 5 certifications, with a 42 kAIC interrupt rating on the CV frame to support robust protection. With a 225 A rating and two-pole configuration, it integrates cleanly into Eaton CV panels, while the without terminals design simplifies installation in tight spaces. The result is improved reliability, faster commissioning, and a lower total cost of ownership for critical automation systems. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, it also helps compliance teams meet local electrical codes.
