175 to 200 Amp Commercial, Ignition Protected Thermal Breakers
Ignition protected
Using a bimetal, snap acting disc as the sensing and actuating element,
the Klixon® 7855 series thermal
circuit breaker provides trouble free over current protection for high current applications.
The 7855 Series is available in two configurations:
7855-6: Sealed construction, manual reset
7855-7: Sealed construction, automatic reset
Applications
Main harness protection for heavy trucks, buses, construction equipment,
off–road vehicles, and RV’s
Electric vehicle battery protection

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 110% of rated current (1) and trip at 138% of rated current (2).
At 140°F, the same device will hold at approximately 92% of rated current (3), and trip at approximately 120% of rated current (4).
