Eaton CVS3060X - Molded Case Circuit Breaker - UL 489, 42 kAIC
Part Number: CVS3060X
Quick Summary
The Eaton CVS3060X molded case circuit breaker protects industrial electrical panels by precisely interrupting faults and overloads up to 60 A. In demanding control environments, mismatched protection can lead to nuisance trips or insufficient fault coverage, increasing downtime. This device carries UL 489 and CSA certifications and provides a 42 kAIC interrupt rating within the CV frame, designed for three-pole installations using #6-4/0 AWG Cu/Al conductors. With a compact 7.5 in length, 5 in width, and 5 in height, it simplifies panel layouts and speeds up field wiring. A limited lifetime warranty adds business value by reducing lifecycle risk and spares future replacement costs while delivering reliable, code-compliant protection in machine and panel applications.

Eaton Specification Sheet - CVS3060X
Feature → Business Impact → Application: 60 A amperage rating provides targeted protection for typical industrial circuits while minimizing nuisance trips and project rework in control panels and motor control centers. This translates to reduced downtime and predictable maintenance windows, especially in machine protection scenarios where consistent overload protection is critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 42 kAIC interrupt rating delivers robust short-circuit withstand capability, helping facilities meet system fault-current requirements and reducing cascading failures in high-energy applications such as packaging lines or CNC machines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Three-pole construction enables synchronous three-phase protection with simplified wiring, improving coordination in panelboards and MCCs and supporting safer start-up in industrial automation environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: CV frame compatibility ensures seamless cross-reference with Eaton CV family components, enabling faster panel redesigns and easier spares management across multiple projects and facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Accepts #6-4/0 AWG Cu/Al conductors and #4/0 kcmil maximum load terminals expands feeder options, supporting both copper and aluminum wiring and reducing inventory complexity in electrical rooms. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compact dimensions (7.5 in L x 5 in W x 5 in H) and a 4.4 lb weight simplify mounting in tight control cabinets, shorten installation time, and ease serviceability for updated control systems. Feature → Business Impact → Application: UL 489 and CSA certifications provide compliance assurance for procurement and installation in regulated facilities, helping customers pass inspections and maintain project timelines. The result is improved reliability, lower total cost of ownership, and safer, code-compliant protection for industrial panels.

FAQs
CVS3060X is a three-pole molded case circuit breaker designed for the CV frame. It supports Cu/Al conductors from #6 to #4/0 AWG and terminals up to #4/0 kcmil, with dimensions of 7.5 in L, 5 in W, and 5 in H. It mounts in standard Eaton CV load centers, streamlining replacements and spare-part planning while preserving panel density and wiring clarity.
The CVS3060X provides a 42 kAIC interrupt rating, meaning it can safely interrupt high-energy faults up to 42 kiloamperes. This level of protection helps prevent equipment damage and reduces fault-induced downtime in demanding industrial environments such as packaging lines, presses, and process controls, aligning with typical industrial short-circuit requirements.
Yes. The device is a three-pole molded case circuit breaker designed for three-phase protection in machine control panels. It accepts #6-4/0 AWG copper or aluminum conductors and has load terminals rated up to #4/0 kcmil, allowing flexible feeder configurations and simplified wiring during panel assembly or modification projects.
CVS3060X is certified UL 489 and CSA Std. C22.2 No. 5. These certifications ensure compliance with national electrical codes, enable safer installation in regulated facilities, and facilitate faster procurement and inspection processes across industrial and commercial projects.
Eaton provides a limited lifetime warranty on the CVS3060X, reflecting confidence in long-term reliability for critical protection. Routine maintenance includes periodic inspection of terminals, torque verification, and replacement if signs of wear or deformation appear. This warranty supports lower lifecycle costs and reduces unexpected replacement expenses in panel assemblies.
