Eaton CVS3060Y Molded Case Circuit Breaker - 42 kAIC
Part Number: CVS3060Y
Quick Summary
Eaton CVS3060Y Molded Case Circuit Breaker protects critical industrial feeders in control panels. Engineers select this device to balance safety, size, and performance under demanding loads. The CV frame and three-pole design simplify panel wiring while delivering reliable protection. However, choosing a breaker that fits CV mounting rails and meets short-circuit requirements can slow project schedules. UL 489 and CSA Std. C22.2 No. 5 certifications guarantee spark-safe operation and regulatory compliance, reducing audit risk. The CVS3060Y also supports common low-voltage protection strategies, helping maintenance teams standardize components across facilities and streamline procurement, installation, and future expansions. With a 60 A rating and 42 kAIC interrupt capacity, it accommodates typical industrial loads while preserving service continuity.

FAQs
CVS3060Y installs on standard CV frame mounting rails in three-pole configurations. Ensure adequate clearance for wiring access and heat dissipation; use the device’s 7.5 inch depth and 5 inch width/height footprint to plan enclosure space. Termination supports #4/0 kcmil maximum line with #6-4/0 AWG Cu/Al conductors, and grounding per your panel design. Follow UL 489 wiring guidance for short-term maintenance access and verify torque specifications on all lugs during final assembly.
The CVS3060Y provides a 60 A continuous rating with a 42 kAIC interrupt capacity, and it is a three-pole CV frame device. This pairing supports effective protection for three-phase loads while tolerating moderate fault currents without nuisance tripping. Use it for motor starting scenarios and load centers where peak fault currents approach industry norms, ensuring your protection scheme aligns with system short-circuit levels.
CVS3060Y carries UL 489 and CSA Std. C22.2 No. 5 certifications, signaling compliance with safety, performance, and electrical installation standards. These approvals are critical for regulated facilities, meet procurement requirements, and simplify third-party inspections. Relying on UL/CSA-certified devices reduces audit findings and helps ensure safe operation across industrial environments.
CVS3060Y is designed for industrial low-voltage protection within CV frame control panels and load centers. Its 60 A rating, 42 kAIC interrupt capacity, and three-pole configuration make it suitable for motors, conveyors, and process lines found in heavy industry. It is less typical for residential panels, where smaller ratings and different frame types may apply.
With a limited lifetime warranty and robust UL/CSA certifications, CVS3060Y supports long-term reliability while reducing maintenance downtime. Its compact footprint saves panel space, simplifying future expansions and reducing install labor. Standardized CV-frame breakers enable streamlined parts stocking and faster replacements, driving favorable total cost of ownership in mid- to large-scale industrial installations.
