Eaton CVS3200X – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Eaton Type CV molded case circuit breaker designed for?
The Eaton Type CV is a 200A three-pole molded case circuit breaker with 42 kAIC interrupting capacity. It protects electrical circuits in commercial and industrial applications. The CV series provides reliable overcurrent protection for feeders and branch circuits.
2) What wire sizes are compatible with this 200A CV breaker?
This CV breaker accepts #6 AWG through 4/0 AWG aluminum or copper conductors. Maximum load capacity is 4/0 kcmil. Always verify conductor compatibility and torque specifications in the installation instructions before wiring.
3) How do you install the Type CV breaker in a panel?
Mount the CV breaker on standard 35mm DIN rail or bolt-on mounting. Ensure proper phase spacing for three-pole configuration. Connect line and load conductors to designated terminals. Torque connections per manufacturer specifications. Verify mechanical operation before energizing.
4) What does 42 kAIC interrupting capacity mean?
42 kAIC means the breaker can safely interrupt fault currents up to 42,000 amperes. This interrupting capacity must meet or exceed the available fault current at the installation point. Consult electrical engineer for fault current calculations in your specific application.
5) Is this CV breaker suitable for motor loads?
Yes, the Type CV handles motor loads when properly sized. Consider motor starting currents and use appropriate time-current curves. For critical motor applications, verify trip characteristics match motor protection requirements. Motor circuit protectors may be preferred for some applications.
6) What electrical codes apply to CV circuit breaker installation?
Installation must comply with NEC Article 240 for overcurrent protection and local electrical codes. Verify proper SCCR ratings for equipment protection. Follow manufacturer's installation guidelines and local inspection requirements. Professional installation recommended for code compliance.
7) What accessories are available for the Type CV breaker?
Common accessories include auxiliary contacts, shunt trips, undervoltage releases, and bell alarms. Ground fault modules may be available for specific models. Check with Eaton products for compatible accessories and part numbers for your specific CV model.
8) How do you test the CV breaker operation?
Test mechanical operation monthly by manually operating the breaker handle. For electrical testing, use appropriate test equipment to verify trip settings. Primary injection testing should be performed by qualified technicians. Document test results per facility maintenance procedures.
9) What maintenance is required for Type CV breakers?
Perform visual inspections for damage, corrosion, or overheating signs. Check terminal connections for tightness annually. Clean contacts and mechanisms per manufacturer schedule. Replace breaker if it shows signs of arcing damage or fails to operate properly.
10) Can this breaker replace older Eaton models?
Replacement compatibility depends on mounting configuration, terminal arrangements, and electrical ratings. Verify physical dimensions and connection patterns match existing installation. Consult Eaton cross-reference guides or contact technical support for specific replacement recommendations.
11) What environmental conditions can the CV breaker handle?
Type CV breakers operate in standard indoor electrical environments. Typical temperature range is -40°F to 104°F. For harsh environments, consider NEMA rated enclosures. Avoid exposure to corrosive atmospheres, excessive moisture, or vibration without proper protection.
12) How do you determine proper breaker sizing for a 200A application?
Calculate total connected load and apply demand factors per NEC Article 220. Consider continuous loads at 125% rating. Verify conductor ampacity matches breaker rating. Professional load calculations ensure proper sizing and code compliance for your specific installation.
