Eaton Specification Sheet - CVS3175Y
The CVS3175Y delivers protection aligned with real-world plant demands. A 175 A rating translates to precise protection for medium‑sized feeders, reducing nuisance trips while avoiding overprotection that can throttle system performance and productivity. This translates to improved uptime and lower replacement costs in manufacturing lines and processing facilities. The 42 kAIC interrupt rating provides rapid fault clearance, enhancing personnel safety and preventing collateral equipment damage during high‑fault events, a critical advantage for motor drives and heavy machinery. CV frame compatibility, a 7.5 inch depth and 5x5 inch footprint, plus terminals rated for #4/0 kcmil maximum line, simplify wiring and field replacement within crowded panels. The three‑pole design ensures balanced three‑phase protection essential for motors and drives, reducing unbalanced faults that affect performance. UL 489 and CSA Std. C22.2 No. 5 certifications reinforce regulatory compliance and market acceptance, while the proven reliability of Eaton’s protection devices supports long‑term maintenance planning and asset protection. With a weight of 4.4 lb and a limited lifetime warranty, on‑site installation is straightforward, enabling faster panel upgrades and predictable lifecycle costs.
