Eaton CVS3225X - 225 A, 240 V, 3-Pole Circuit Breaker | AmpState

The Eaton CVS3225X is a 225 A, 240 V, 3-pole molded-case circuit breaker designed to guard large branch circuits in panelboards and load centers. Built for reliable, repeatable protection in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings, this unit combines a compact footprint with robust electrical performance.

Why this breaker stands out

• Compact molded-case design maximizes panel space, helping you fit more circuits in larger or tighter panels without sacrificing protection.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit delivers stable, repeatable protection by marrying time-delayed thermal sensing with immediate magnetic response for short-circuit events.
• 3-pole configuration ensures all three poles trip together on faults, preventing partial energization and simplifying protection for 3‑phase systems.
• OEM-compatible: designed to match Eaton load centers and panelboards for a seamless fit, installation, and coordinated protection curves.
• High-current capacity: 225 A at 240 V makes it ideal for feeding heavy branch circuits, motor loads, or feeders in commercial and light industrial environments.
• Versatility across applications: suitable for upgrading residential service panels, office or building circuits, HVAC equipment, pumps, and light manufacturing installations.

The CVS3225X uses a dual-action trip mechanism: a thermal element monitors gradual overloads while a magnetic element responds instantly to short circuits. When a fault is detected, the mechanism disconnects all three poles, interrupting the fault current and protecting conductors and equipment from damage. Its rugged molded-case construction is built to withstand the demands of busy panel environments.

Designed to work with matching OEM load centers and panelboards, the CVS3225X supports streamlined replacement and panel upgrades. Ensure the panel is rated for 240 V and configured for a 3-pole, common-trip breaker to maintain proper protection coordination across circuits.
