Waytek, Inc., an electrical components distributor, has presented Mechanical Products with Waytek’s Product of the Year Award for 2023 for the Series 87 Family of heavy-duty marine-rated circuit breakers.

The Product of the Year Award recognizes the supplier that has distinguished itself with an innovative product that delivers outstanding value to customers and by demonstrating a strong commitment to excellence and collaboration with Waytek. The Series 87 was selected for the award for its high quality, utility, and quick acceptance by Waytek customers.

The Series 87 is a heavy-duty, switchable, high-amp circuit breaker that features a manual reset with an On-Off switch function. It is available in panel mount or surface mount options. 

With a wide amp range from 25A to 250A, the Series 87 meets the needs of marine applications with a main breaker protection interrupt rating at 5,000A interrupt capacity. New features include more spacing to accommodate terminal lugs, a double set of contacts, more copper and silver to better clear faults, and a circular panel cut out for ease of use.

A decisive factor in the Product of the Year Award was Mechanical Product’s collaborative approach in designing its Series 87 circuit breakers to meet the specified needs of Waytek’s customers. Other principal factors included on-time product delivery and consistently positive product performance feedback from customers.

Ron Prokup, President, Mechanical Products, said; “We are excited to receive the Product of the Year award from Waytek. Waytek shares our passion for reliable, high-quality products, and for providing an exceptional customer experience. 

“I want to thank our employee team that was responsible for designing and building the Series 87 product line. They are the true recipients of this award.”

Rob Iversrud, Product and Category Manager, Waytek, said; “The Series 87 has filled an urgent market demand for marine-rated circuit breakers of high quality and availability. 

“Series 87 circuit breakers meet stringent marine requirements while introducing new, competitive features. We are honored to work with Mechanical Products as a valued partner who brings new solutions to our customers and increases the product range available at Waytek.”
