Hager Contactor 25A 2NC 230V ESC226

Hager ESC226: 25A Contactor with 2NC configuration for 230V AC control circuits.

Reliable Power Switching

The ESC226 handles remote switching and control of power circuits rated up to 25A (AC1 loads), making it suited to lighting, heating, and general load-switching applications on a Hager distribution board. Two Normally Closed (NC) contacts give you dependable circuit interruption, and the unit accepts an ESC080 auxiliary contact where an extra control or signalling function is needed.

Flexible Control Options

Contactor ratings are set for AC1 loads only, so if your load type differs you'll need to de-rate accordingly, avoiding nuisance tripping or premature wear. Because contact configuration (NO or NC) depends on the supply characteristics, load, control voltage, and expected number of operations, the ESC226's 2NC setup lets you match the device precisely to the circuit rather than over-specifying.

Space-Saving Installation

At just one modular spacing wide with a 60mm recess depth, the ESC226 fits compact enclosures without eating into panel space, a practical benefit when board real estate is tight. When installing multiple contactors side by side, or next to other heat-generating devices, fit LZ060 heat dissipation inserts between units to maintain safe operating temperatures.

Safety & Compliance

Manufactured by Hager Ltd, the ESC226 carries an IP2X rating for basic protection against finger contact and solid objects once installed in an enclosure. As part of the wider Hager electrical range for distribution boards, it sits alongside other Hager Limited devices, including AFDD arc fault detection units, giving installers a consistent, Hager-specified solution across the panel build.
