| SMALL FRAME PD SERIES (PDA, PDM)
2 TO 40 AMP PRECISION THERMAL CIRCUIT BREAKER
SPECIFICATIONS
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.
