Product FAQs
6 answersWhich enclosures are compatible with the CVH3100 circuit breaker?
The CVH3100 is designed for use with Eaton Type ECC enclosures. It is also frequently installed as a tenant main circuit breaker in Eaton residential group metering stacks.
Can the CVH3100 replace older Eaton CHH circuit breakers?
Yes, Eaton CV frame circuit breakers, including the CVH3100, are designed to replace legacy Eaton CHH circuit breakers in tenant main and group metering applications.
What does the H in the CVH3100 catalog number signify?
The H designates a high interrupting rating. The CVH3100 is rated for 100kAIC at 240VAC, whereas standard CV and CVS frames have lower interrupting capacities.
Are the trip settings on the CVH3100 adjustable?
No, this breaker features a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit. The long-time and instantaneous (LI) trip functions cannot be adjusted in the field.
What wire sizes do the lugs on the CVH3100 accept?
The factory-installed line and load lugs accept 6 AWG through 4/0 AWG copper or aluminum conductors.
How is the CVH3100 mounted within an enclosure?
This is a unit-mount circuit breaker. It bolts directly to the backpan or mounting bracket of a compatible enclosure or metering stack, rather than plugging onto a busbar.
