Eaton Specification Sheet - CVS2225X
Feature: The CVS2225X delivers a 225 A amperage rating with 42 kAIC interrupt capacity and a two-pole design provide robust fault protection. Business Impact: This protection reduces arc flash exposure and minimizes equipment damage during fault events, helping to protect personnel and keep lines in production. Application: Well-suited for main feeders and motor circuits in control panels, switchgear, and compact power distribution centers in manufacturing and process environments. Feature: CV frame molded case construction with a compact footprint of 7.5 in length, 5 in height, and 3.5 in width, weighing about 2.75 lb. Business Impact: Smaller form factor simplifies panel layouts, reduces enclosure depth, and speeds installation, enabling faster capital projects and easier retrofits. Application: Fits existing CV-frame panel designs and supports straightforward mounting in space-limited automation cabinets and load centers. Feature: Terminals rated for #4/0 kcmil maximum load and wire size #6-4/0 AWG Cu/Al, with direct termination options. Business Impact: Flexible conductor options minimize sourcing complexity and improve termination reliability, cutting rework and warranty exposure. Application: Ideal for high-current distribution lines in control panels and motor control centers across industrial facilities. Feature: Certifications include CSA Std. C22.2 No. 5 and UL 489, ensuring compliance with major North American safety and performance standards. Business Impact: Streamlines procurement for regulated sectors and reduces qualification time for certification of electrical assemblies. Application: Beneficial for facilities in manufacturing, chemical processing, food and beverage, and infrastructure projects requiring proven protection devices. Feature: Limited lifetime warranty backed by Eaton, with service support and available replacement parts. Business Impact: Improves total cost of ownership by reducing downtime risk and simplifying maintenance planning and spares stocking. Application: Ideal for OEMs building industrial control panels, service providers, and plants pursuing uptime targets.

FAQs
CVS2225X installs in standard CV-frame control panels with a footprint of 7.5 in length, 5 in height, and 3.5 in width. It is a two-pole device rated 225 A with 42 kAIC and accepts Cu/Al conductors from #6 to 4/0 AWG, with a maximum load of #4/0 kcmil. Ensure the panel cutouts and mounting clearances match the datasheet and follow UL 489 and CSA termination guidelines.
These ratings indicate the device can continuously carry up to 225 A and interrupt fault currents up to 42 kAIC at its rated voltage. For system design, this means robust protection for feeders and motors, improved fault clearing performance, and better coordination with upstream protections, contributing to safer operations and reduced downtime during fault conditions.
This product supports #6-4/0 AWG Cu/Al conductors and terminals rated for a maximum load of #4/0 kcmil. The combination of conductor size, terminal capability, and two-pole CV frame enables flexible wiring options, reduces termination errors, and streamlines field assembly in high-current applications like motor control centers and large power feeds.
CVS2225X carries CSA Std. C22.2 No. 5 and UL 489 certifications, confirming compliance with major North American safety and performance standards. This simplifies supplier qualification, supports code compliance, and reduces risk for regulated facilities in industries such as manufacturing, processing, and infrastructure projects. Selecting a certified breaker standardizes safety practices, speeds inspections, and ensures compatibility with code-based panel assemblies across plant networks.
CVS2225X is covered by a limited lifetime warranty from Eaton, with widely available replacement parts and service support. This reduces lifecycle costs by lowering replacement frequency and simplifying spare part inventories. For maintenance, rely on the simple mechanical design, periodic inspection of terminals, and adherence to installation and safety guidelines to sustain performance over years of operation.
