Product Information

Full details

The Hager KDN163A Quickbusbar is an essential component for professional electricians and installers looking to streamline single-phase power distribution across multiple circuit breakers. Its key benefit lies in the 1-pole fork-type design, which facilitates secure, screwless connections for up to 12 modules, significantly reducing installation time and complexity. While it offers superior efficiency and organization, users must ensure it is only utilized within single-phase configurations, as it is not designed for multi-phase electrical systems.

FAQs

Can I use this for 3-phase systems?

No, the KDN163A is a 1-pole busbar designed exclusively for single-phase applications.

What is the pitch dimension?

The pitch dimension is 17.5 mm, which is standard for most modular circuit breakers.

How many modules can it support?

It is designed to support up to 12 modules.

Does it require end covers?

While not always mandatory, using end covers is recommended after cutting the busbar to prevent accidental contact with live parts.

What cross-section size is the rail?

The rail has a cross-section of 10 mm².

Is it compatible with other brands of breakers?

It is designed for Hager components; while it may physically fit other 17.5 mm pitch breakers, it is best practice to use it with matching equipment to ensure safety and warranty compliance.

Troubleshooting

Busbar does not align with breaker terminals

Verify that your circuit breakers support fork-type busbars and that the pitch is standard 17.5 mm.

Loose connection after installation

Ensure the breaker screw terminal is fully tightened onto the fork prong; if the prong remains loose, check for proper insertion depth.

Busbar is too long for the enclosure

Measure the required length and use a hacksaw to cut the rail, ensuring all burrs are filed down and the copper path is not shorted.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces assembly time compared to individual wiring links
  • Ensures consistent, low-resistance connections for improved safety
  • Compact 17.5 mm pitch fits standard modular rail dimensions
  • High-quality construction ensures long-term durability in distribution boards
  • Clean, organized wiring appearance inside the consumer unit

Cons

  • Compatible exclusively with single-phase configurations
  • Fixed length may require cutting or trimming for smaller boards
  • Not suitable for use with devices requiring different pitch spacing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the KDN163A, ensure the main power supply to the distribution board is disconnected. Align the fork terminals with the breaker connection points and insert them fully before tightening the breaker screw terminals. If the busbar is too long for your specific module count, it can be carefully cut to size; always ensure that no exposed conductive metal remains at the cut end by using appropriate end caps if necessary. Regularly inspect the connections during annual board maintenance to ensure that vibration has not loosened the terminal screws. It is compatible with most standard DIN-rail mounted modular devices featuring a 17.5 mm pitch.
