Hager Circuit Protection

Shop Hager circuit protection devices, designed to safeguard electrical installations against overloads, short circuits, earth faults and arc faults. Trusted by electricians and contractors, Hager products combine reliable performance with installer-friendly design, making them suitable for residential, commercial and high-spec projects.

The Hager circuit protection range includes Consumer units, MCBs, RCBOs and AFDD RCBOs, providing flexible solutions for modern electrical installations. Whether you are carrying out a new installation or upgrading an existing system, Hager offers compliant, high-quality protection devices designed to meet current UK wiring regulations.

Each type of device plays a different role in protecting circuits, so choosing the right combination is essential for ensuring safety, compliance and long-term reliability.

Types of Hager Circuit Protection

  • RCBOs combine the functions of an MCB and an RCD, providing protection against overloads, short circuits and earth leakage faults in a single device, making them ideal for modern installations where individual circuit protection and improved fault isolation are required.
  • Consumer units are the central point of electrical distribution, housing circuit protection devices such as MCBs, RCBOs and AFDDs. Hager consumer units are 18th Edition compliant and designed for safe, efficient installation.
  • MCBs protect circuits from overloads and short circuits, automatically disconnecting power when faults occur. They are commonly used in domestic and light commercial installations.
  • AFDD RCBOs provide the highest level of circuit protection by detecting arc faults that could lead to electrical fires, in addition to standard RCBO protection.

Hager Circuit Protection FAQs

In many modern installations, Hager RCBOs are preferred because they provide individual circuit protection, reducing disruption if a fault occurs. Designed for seamless use within Hager consumer units, they offer reliable performance and help meet current wiring regulations.

Hager Type A devices detect both AC and pulsating DC residual currents, making them suitable for modern electrical installations with electronic loads such as appliances and LED lighting. Type AC devices detect AC faults only and are less commonly used in newer Hager systems.

Yes. Hager consumer units are designed to accommodate surge protection devices (SPDs), helping to protect electrical installations and connected equipment from voltage spikes. Many modern Hager boards are supplied with SPD options or allow easy integration.

A Hager high integrity consumer unit allows a combination of RCBO and RCD protection within the same board. This provides flexibility to protect critical circuits individually while grouping others, offering a balance between cost, safety and performance.

Hager RCBOs protect individual circuits rather than groups, meaning that a fault will only affect one circuit instead of multiple areas. This helps reduce nuisance tripping and makes fault finding quicker and more efficient.

Hager AFDD RCBOs provide advanced protection by detecting arc faults that could lead to electrical fires. They are particularly beneficial in higher-risk environments and are increasingly specified in line with 18th Edition regulations for improved safety.

The right setup depends on the installation type and level of protection required:

For most modern installations, Hager RCBO-based systems are a popular choice.

Yes. Hager circuit protection devices are widely trusted by electricians for their build quality, consistent performance and compliance with UK standards. Their installer-friendly design also helps reduce installation time and improve efficiency on site.
