Small Frame PD Series (PDA, PDM)
2 to 40 Amp Precision Thermal Circuit Breaker
FEATURES
• 30VDC or 120VAC, 2 to 40 Amps
• Sealed assemblies, available in manual and automatic reset options
• Ignition protected
• UL Recognized E36869
DESCRIPTION
The KLIXON® PD series thermal breakers are designed to protect wiring
and meet the harshest environmental requirements. The PD series are
weatherproof sealed for protection against moisture, dust, grease,
fuel vapors and other harsh environments. The PD series breakers
are compact, lightweight and designed to interrupt short circuits or
overloads, and combine trip-free protection with fast response time.
Typical applications are protection of wire and cable of accessory circuits,
equipment and battery protection in construction and off-road equipment,
marine, recreational vehicles (RV’s), mining, agricultural equipment and
electric (hybrid) vehicles.
The PD series is used in commercial and military applications.
