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.
