[robgill]

hi there to all...


I have a couple of question for you all...

how do you find HAGER mcb's at the monment we use MERLIN and all though these are very good but are on the pricey side of life and so we are thinking of changing ova but need some feed back before we make the jump

may i just add we use the lower rage of breaker 1, 2, 4, 10 amps for small control swiching etc.

so all your views are welcome need things like faliour rate, build quailty so plaese reply

many thanks Rob..

Hager are brill for the 3ph boards but their new single phase boards leave a lot to be desired, they do some good 20a rated din rail timers and all the contactors you need and even din rail mounted emergency light.

I have used them for years (just wish they had not changed the single phase consumer unit !)

Hi Rob we have allot of hagar on site no problems really. welcome along

Only thing merlin are better for is their internal isolation sliders on their 3ph boards meaning its a lot safer to work in a live board (i know you shouldn't but we all do), hagar have big horrible plastic blanks that slide over the pins

Eh lads and lasses , we stopped using hagar yrs ago, unless they have really improved there product they used to be absolute rubbish, not just there breakers the whole product range was just terrible, we used to call em hagar the horrible , for eg when tightening the terminals, they would literallybreak with not much trouble either, just rubbish, as i say unless they have upped there game.

They will if you use an impact driver

Joking aside, i paid a visit to a sparky mate who was rewiring a house.

As i walked through the door he was just about to do up the first MCB with an impact driver!!!!!!

You can imagine my response to that

 

[johnnyb]

No, Jason, we were using just normal drivers mate, as i said unless they have upped there product, probably have as this was yrs ago, but as the saying goes, once bitten!.
