FAQs


How can we help you?

I have received a tender for a job requiring a maximum demand of 400A, what can you offer?

Hager's Quadro M Modular Switchboard System has been designed for this very application. Quadro M is a range of modular products with IP55 or internal IP30 frames that can be fitted with a range of mounting pans and chassis to suit the Hager range of devices up to 630A. This includes CT metering, whole current metering and check metering. We also offer a complete system design from the main switchboards, panel boards, modular devices and wiring accessories. Please speak to your Hager Representative who can prepare a project quote for you. Contact us.

Can you supply switchboards up to 1600A?

Yes. Hager's Quadro evo 1600A Main Switchboards have been designed specifically for multi-residential and commercial applications, utilising patented profiles to guarantee optimum rigidity and total flexibility for a tailored design. Contact us for more information.

Are there options for doors on Loadcentres?

The Golf, Vega D, GD and VD are available with choices of door type, opaque (white) or transparent (with blue shadow). Optional Locks can also be fitted to these doors. Doors are standard on the Vector IP65 enclosures, and are only available in a UV stable Transparent (clear). Hager VT metal enclosures have an optional metal doors covering of poles, making them suitable for construction sites or other installations that need sub circuit security or control.

 

I need to fit a small DIN enclosure into an existing domestic meter board.

The GD Hager range, is suited for meter isolation or retrofit of DIN enclosures into older metal domestic switchboards, we also offer a range of pre-loaded GD enclosures for these applications.

 

Which enclosure can I use to fit into a corner, but still have access?

The Hager GD range has been specifically designed for this application.

 

I have lost the key to a Hager Enclosure, can I order a replacement?

Replacement or spare keys are available for all Hager enclosures, however before ordering please check that the lock is the original Hager version.

 

Are Hager Enclosures NBN Compliant?

Yes, Hager Golf Home Networking enclosures are compliant to Australian NBN requirements.

I need to provide Safety Switch protected circuits from a Panelboard. What is the best method?


Several options to be considered:

  1. The easiest method is to use Hager single module RCBOs. These are electronic devices Tpye A, 10kA, 6-32A. 
  2. Install a combination of a suitable 3 Phase MCb mounted to a Hager BD163T (Add-On Block) on the chassis. 
  3. Use earth leakage relays mounted on DIN rail, with the supply passing through the earth leakage toroid. The trip contacts of the earth leakage relay should be wired to the shunt trip of the supplying MCCB.

Do I need to consider the fault rating of the chassis?

Yes. The chassis has been tested at 20kA for 0.2 seconds, (40kA peak). A protective device needs to be installed prior to the chassis in order to interrupt supply to the chassis in the event of a fault. The peak let though current of the protection device must be less than 40kA to prevent damage.

Which way do Hager MCBs fit on the chassis?

Hager MCBs must be fitted with the DIN clip facing towards the centre of the chassis (the DIN clip can be removed if a hazard is considered to exist, eg live connection). This orientation places the exhaust port of the MCB away from the chassis. Also, the single module RCBO can only be mounted with the DIN clip facing toward the chassis. These chassis are not designed to suit other brands of MCB.
