Product FAQs
7 answersHow should I use the Eaton CVS2150X's 150A rating when sizing a circuit?
The Eaton CVS2150X has a rated current of 150A. Use that rating when coordinating breaker selection with the load requirements and conductor ampacity.
What electrical configuration is the CVS2150X rated for?
The CVS2150X is a 2-pole, single-phase breaker rated 120/240VAC. Check the circuit voltage, phase and required pole count when selecting it.
How does the 42kAIC interrupting rating affect selection?
The 42kAIC rating describes the breaker's fault-current interrupting capability. Compare the available fault current at the installation point with this rating; it must not exceed the breaker's interrupting capability.
Can I adjust the thermal or magnetic trip settings?
No. Both the thermal and magnetic trip settings are fixed. The thermal-magnetic trip provides long-time response to sustained overloads and instantaneous response to short circuits, so selection must account for fixed rather than field-adjustable protection.
What conductor sizes can the lugs accept?
The lug conductor range is 6 AWG through 4/0 AWG. Keep the conductor size within that range while also sizing it for the circuit's ampacity requirements.
What mounting and terminal connection methods should I plan for?
The CVS2150X uses bolt-on mounting and lug terminal connections. Plan for a bolted mounting installation and conductor terminations at the lugs.
What dimensions should I use when planning installation space?
The breaker is 5 in high, 3.5 in wide and 7.5 in deep. Use these dimensions to lay out the breaker body, with separate space planning for conductor routing and installation access.
