•	2 - 35 amps
•	Precision thermal circuit breaker
•	Suitable for harsh conditions
Using a bimetal, snap acting disc as the sensing and actuating element, the Klixon PS series thermal circuit breaker provides trouble-free over-current protection for harsh environments. The PS series is used in applications such as military vehicles and equipment where precise ultimate trip characteristics are required. Available in three configurations:
•	PSA: Automatic reset (Data sheet PDF)
•	PSM: Manual reset (Data sheet PDF)
•	PSM–N: Manual reset, neck mount (Data sheet PDF)
Applications
•	Military vehicles and other equipment where precise ultimate trip characteristics are required

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).
