FAQs
CVS3200X3 is a 200 A, three-pole molded case circuit breaker built on the CV frame, designed for direct integration into CV-frame panelboards and Eaton load centers. It supports Cu/Al conductors up to #6-4/0 AWG and provides a clear path for field wiring. Note the #300 kcmil option requires a terminal shield and adds length, so plan panel depth accordingly. This makes retrofit and new-install projects straightforward while maintaining code-compliant terminations.
Key specs include a 200 A rating, 42 kAIC interrupt capacity, three-pole configuration, CV frame, and copper/aluminum terminals up to #6-4/0 AWG, with maximum load to #300 kcmil. Physical dimensions are a 7.5 inch depth and a 5x5 inch footprint, weighing 4.4 lb. These figures support safe, predictable protection in industrial power distribution and align with UL 489 and CSA C22.2 requirements.
Yes. The CVS3200X3 is described as the CCV tenant main breaker and is applicable as a tenant main in service equipment within load centers and panel boards. It provides robust fault interruption (42 kAIC) for large feeders, while its 200 A rating supports typical service entry and distribution needs. When integrating as a tenant main, verify panel compatibility and shielding requirements if using the 300 kcmil terminal option.
CVS3200X3 carries CSA Std. C22.2 No. 5 and UL 489 certifications, ensuring conformity to recognized safety and performance standards for low-voltage distribution devices. These certifications facilitate code-compliant installations in North American facilities, simplify inspections, and support safe operation across manufacturing, data centers, and commercial buildings. The accompanying limited lifetime warranty further reinforces long-term reliability in demanding environments.
Key considerations include understanding the terminal options: Cu/Al conductors up to #6-4/0 AWG, with a possible #300 kcmil maximum load that requires a terminal shield and increases length by 1.50 inches. Plan for panel depth (especially when using the shield option) and ensure the enclosure supports a three-pole device. Follow UL 489/CSA C22.2 guidelines for torque and connection standards to maintain warranty and code compliance.
