Klixon® 7851 and 7854 Series Thermal Circuit Breakers
12½ to 60 Amp, Commercial, Sealed, Ignition Protected



Overview Data Sheet (PDF) Request Pricing or Info

12.5 - 60 amps
Commercial thermal circuit breaker
Sealed
Ignition protected

Similar in construction to the C Series device. Incorporation of the standard stud type terminals affords the design engineer additional design flexibility beyond the screw type terminals found in the C series breaker.

Using a bimetal, snap–acting disc as the sensing and actuating element, this thermal circuit breaker provides trouble free over–current protection for harsh environments.

This device is available in two configurations:
7851: Sealed construction, manual reset (pushbutton)
7854: Sealed construction, automatic reset


Applications

Accessory and equipment protection for stern–drive marine engines and other marine applications requiring ignition protected devices
Battery protection in electric vehicles

Derating Curve
Approximate Effect of Ambient Temperature on Ultimate Trip


Diagram: Approximate effect of ambient temperature on ultimate trip
Performance characteristics are based on room temperature (77°F). Consult derating curve at left for ambient temperatures significantly higher or lower than standard room temperature.

Example: At 77°F the device is calibrated to hold at 100% of rated current (1) and trip at 135% of rated current (2). At 140°F, the same device will hold at approximately 78% of rated current (3), and trip at approximately 115% of rated current (4).
