DESCRIPTION
The KLIXON® PDL series thermal breakers are designed to meet the
harshest environmental requirements. The PDL series breakers are
weatherproof for protection against moisture, dust, grease, fuel vapors,
and other harsh environments. The PDL series of breakers are designed
to interrupt short circuits or overloads and combine trip-free protection
with fast response time. The PDL series of breakers can be used in
commercial and military vehicles and equipment where more precise
ultimate trip characteristics are required.

DERATING CURVE

TRIP CURVE - Approximate Time, Current Characteristics At 77°F (25°C)
Performance characteristics are based on room
temperature (77°F, 25°C). Consult Derating curve for ambient
temperatures significantly higher or lower than standard
room temperature.
Example: At 77°F (25°C) the device is calibrated to hold
at 110% of rated current (1) and trip at 138% of rated
current (2). At 140°F (60°C), the same device will hold
at approximately 92% of rated current (3), and trip at
approximately 120% of rated current (4).
