2024 EC&M Product of the Year Gold Award Winner Recognized

Sept. 29, 2024

LEX Products takes home first runner-up honor for its Outdoor PowerRACK (Load Master Series) in this year's Product of the Year competition.

David Sevin, EC&M’s key account manager, recently visited LEX Products at their production facility in Shelton, Conn. to present EC&M’s gold award in this year’s Product of the Year Competition.

Representing the power distribution equipment category, Lex Products’ Outdoor PowerRACKs are designed for rough use and harsh environments. The product provides enhanced safety and durability where a range of power loads are required. The first cULus-listed portable power distribution unit eliminates the need to reconfigure or rewire panels for each job. Fed directly from a power source, these units deliver 800A of 3-phase power to multiple circuits, creating a main power distribution station within the job site. Part of the Load Master Series, these racks feature outputs with electronic 100% rated adjustable circuit breakers. Ranging from 60A to 600A, overcurrent protection is configurable to match specific application loads.

“Thank you for this incredible honor,” said Rebecca Lore, industrial product manager for LEX Products. “The Lex Products Outdoor PowerRACK™ is a testament to our commitment to innovation in power distribution. We’re proud to provide the most compact and flexible solution in the market. This award inspires us to continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Thanks to everyone for making this possible from customer collaboration to the dedicated Lex team.”

This year’s competition featured products introduced to the market between Jan. 1, 2023 and Dec. 31, 2023. A hand-picked panel of judges narrowed down the 123 entries to 30 category winners for the first phase of the competition. These category winners were then narrowed down to our three finalists through an online poll available to EC&M readers, who cast their votes to determine the three award-winning products.

Congratulations to LEX Products for winning this year’s gold award. For more information, visit the company’s website.
