Commercial thermal circuit breaker |
• |
Ignition protected |
The C series is available in four configurations:
|
• |
CA: Open construction, automatic reset |
• |
CDA: Sealed construction, automatic reset |
• |
CM: Open construction, manual reset |
• |
CDM: Sealed construction, manual reset |
Using a bimetal, snap–acting disc as the sensing and actuating element, the
Klixon C Series thermal circuit breaker
provides trouble free over–current protection for harsh environments.

Derating Curve
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). |
