Eaton CVS3080Y Molded Case Circuit Breaker - 42 kAIC

The CVS3080Y delivers precise overcurrent protection with an 80 A rating and a 42 kAIC interrupt capacity, ensuring critical loads remain safeguarded during short circuits and fault events. Designed around the CV molded case format, it integrates cleanly with standard CV panelboards, enabling straightforward retrofits or new installations in factory and plant environments. The device supports Cu/Al conductors up to #6-4/0 AWG and terminates at a maximum line of #4/0 kcmil, simplifying wire management and reducing engineering steps. The three-pole design provides balanced protection across phases, improving trip coordination and reducing nuisance trips in multi-branch circuits. Its compatibility with #6-4/0 AWG Cu/Al and the #4/0 kcmil maximum line specification helps maintain consistent current handling and safe shutdown performance across diverse applications—from powered machines to lighting and process controls. With a compact footprint, the breaker fits tight enclosures and standard panel punch patterns, accelerating installation and minimizing space penalties. The 7.5 in length, 5 in width, and 5 in height, weighing 4.4 lb, deliver protection without compromising panel density. UL 489 and CSA certification, combined with a limited lifetime warranty, reinforce reliability and lifecycle value, reducing downtime and warranty risk. Compatibility with load centers and distribution panels is enhanced by Eaton's CV series, delivering predictable tripping behavior and straightforward maintenance. Engineers benefit from straightforward installation, dependable trip performance, and predictable replacement cycles, making CVS3080Y suitable for industrial control panels, load centers, and machine enclosures. For projects requiring compliant low‑voltage protection with minimal ripple effects on existing infrastructure, this breaker offers a practical, cost-conscious balance of safety and efficiency.
