Wesgarde Highlights the Advanced MP Series 87 Heavy Duty Marine Rated Circuit Breaker

Wesgarde, a national leader in the distribution of electromechanical and electronic power components, is proud to highlight the MP Series 87 Heavy Duty Marine Rated Circuit Breaker, an advanced solution for marine, vehicle, and rugged industrial environments. The switchable high amp circuit breaker features an intuitive manual reset and true On-Off functionality, enabling quick and safe circuit isolation whenever maintenance or emergency demands arise.

With a flexible wide amp range from 25 to 250 amps, the MP Series 87 easily adapts to a broad spectrum of power applications, establishing itself as the premier choice for both OEMs and retrofit engineers. Installation is streamlined through a panel or surface mount design, and dual terminal stud sizes, 5/16-18 and 3/8-16, allow optimal wire sizing for even the highest amp ratings, significantly reducing wiring errors and enhancing overall safety.

The MP Series 87 sets a new standard for performance in harsh conditions, featuring ignition protection certified to SAE J1171 and ABYC compliance to safeguard marine operations from potential ignition hazards. Its IP66 weatherproof rating ensures reliable protection against water intrusion, positioning the breaker as the ideal solution for vessels, RVs, and outdoor equipment.

Reliability and fault-clearing capacity are maximized by a double set of contacts and increased copper and silver content, effectively supporting demanding loads and extending product longevity. Additional product enhancements, such as wider spacing around terminal studs and compatibility with circular panel cutouts, facilitate simple, frustration-free installation for both panel builders and service technicians.

Constructed with cadmium-free materials, the MP Series 87 responds to growing environmental compliance needs while delivering resistance to vibration (up to 8g force), shock (up to 25g force), salt spray (96 hours), and humidity (240 hours at 95% RH), ensuring robust operation and long service life under challenging conditions.  Engineered in the USA, the MP Series 87  guarantees uncompromising quality control and responsive support.  For more information, please visit: www.mechprod.com.
