DESCRIPTION
The KLIXON® 7851 and 7854 series thermal breakers were designed
to protect wiring and meet the harshest environmental requirements.
The 7851 and 7854 series closed construction circuit breakers are
weatherproof sealed for protection against moisture, dust, grease,
fuel vapors and other harsh environments. The 7851 and 7854 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 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.

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 100% of rated current (1) and trip at 135% of
rated current (2). At 140°F (60°C), the same device
will hold at approximately 78% of rated current (3),
and trip at approximately 115% of rated current (4).
