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(R) 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.
