FAQs
CVS3200Y3 accepts #6 to 4/0 AWG copper or aluminum conductors for the protected circuit, with a maximum line connection of #300 kcmil. For #300 kcmil options, plan to use a terminal shield and add 1.50 inches to the breaker length to maintain proper fit and clearance in the panel. This supports upgrading feeders and maintaining robust protection in larger distribution networks.
Yes. The CVS3200Y3 is certified to UL 489 and CSA standards (CSA Std. C22.2 No. 5), confirming safety and performance compliance for low-voltage circuit protection. These certifications simplify regulatory approvals, inspections, and ongoing maintenance in both industrial and commercial applications.
The CVS3200Y3 is a 200 A molded case circuit breaker with a 42 kAIC interrupt rating. These specifications indicate it can interrupt high fault currents safely, protecting connected equipment and reducing potential damage. It’s designed for three-pole operation within the CV frame, making it suitable for balanced three-phase distributions.
The breaker measures 7.5 inches in length, 5 inches in width, and 5 inches in height, with an approximate weight of 4.4 pounds. These compact dimensions help optimize panel density and simplify installation in standard load centers and distribution boards.
CVS3200Y3 is intended for main protection in low-voltage power distribution panels, load centers, and control panels within industrial and commercial settings. Its CV frame and three-pole design support reliable protection for large feeders and critical circuits, while compatibility with #300 kcmil terminals enables use with substantial bus connections and motor feeders.
