as an add-on for / to fit PK circuit breaker
Explanation:
'side-mounted auxiliary contact for Moeller motor circuit-breaker / to fit PK circuit-breaker'

PK is the range of models of circuit-breakers by Moeller (now in fact K-M)

As Herbie says, for 'motor circuit-breaker', you might also read 'motor starter' — though I remain slightly wary of the danger of over-translation.
