Hager MCCB 16A 1 Pole 18kA h3 x160 HDA014E

Hager HDA014E: 16A 1 Pole 18kA Moulded Case Circuit Breaker (MCCB) from the h3 x160 range, fitted with a fixed thermal and fixed magnetic trip unit for reliable overload and short-circuit protection.

Safety & Reliability

The fixed thermal/fixed magnetic trip unit delivers consistent overload protection at 1x In, tripping reliably before cable damage or fire risk occurs. With an 18kA breaking capacity and an undelayed short-circuit release set at 210A, this MCCB breaker is built to clear faults fast and protect downstream circuits and equipment.

Where site conditions demand more flexibility than a fixed thermal setting allows, the U-version of this range offers adjustable thermal protection from 0.63 to 1x In, letting installers fine-tune protection without swapping devices. This puts Hager Ltd's h3 x160 range on par with the adjustability found in equivalent schneider moulded case circuit breakers, giving specifiers a genuine choice at the design stage.

Control & Access

A toggle-operated control element gives a clear, positive ON/OFF indication at a glance, and the mechanical test button, accessible through the cover, allows engineers to verify trip function during routine maintenance without removing the enclosure. An integrated padlocking handle (Ø4mm) lets you lock the breaker in the off position during isolation work, while the lockable cover protects the trip settings from unauthorised tampering.

Installation & Compliance

Front-access screw terminals accept up to 95mm² rigid or 70mm² flexible cable, giving installers generous connection capacity for higher-current single-pole circuits without needing separate lugs. Cage terminals speed up termination and reduce the risk of a loose connection over time. The unit is rated IP40 and conforms to BS EN 60947-2, and sits within Hager Limited's broader protection portfolio, which spans MCCBs like this one through to Hager AFDD arc fault detection devices for circuits requiring additional fire protection.
