Designed with true On-Off switching and manual reset, the MP Series 87 enables fast, safe circuit isolation during maintenance or emergency situations. Its wide 25–250 amp operating range makes it suitable for a broad spectrum of applications, supporting both OEM integration and retrofit projects.
Installation flexibility is a key advantage. The breaker supports panel or surface mounting, while dual terminal stud sizes (5/16-18 and 3/8-16) allow optimal conductor selection even at higher current ratings—helping reduce wiring errors and improve overall system safety. Wider terminal spacing and compatibility with circular panel cutouts further simplify installation for builders and service technicians.
Built to perform in demanding conditions, the MP Series 87 is ignition-protected to SAE J1171, ABYC compliant, and rated IP66 for water and dust ingress protection. These features make it well suited for marine vessels, RVs, outdoor equipment and rugged mobile platforms.
Internally, a double contact design with increased copper and silver content enhances fault-clearing capacity and long-term durability under high loads. The breaker is also engineered to withstand vibration (up to 8g), shock (up to 25g), extended salt spray exposure (96 hours) and high humidity (240 hours at 95% RH).
Manufactured in the USA using cadmium-free materials, the MP Series 87 meets modern environmental compliance requirements while delivering dependable, long-life performance.
