Product Information
Full details
The Hager SBN Modular Switch (SBN225) is designed for electricians and homeowners seeking a reliable 2-pole load breaker for residential and commercial electrical systems. Its primary benefit is clear status indication with a light gray rocker switch featuring ON and OFF labels, ensuring safe and efficient operation. A minor caveat is its IP20 rating, making it suitable for indoor, dry environments only. This switch offers dependable circuit control with a 25A current rating and 230V voltage compatibility.

FAQs
What is the IP rating of the SBN225 switch?
The Hager SBN225 has an IP20 rating, meaning it is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5mm but has no protection against water. It is intended for use in dry, indoor environments only.
Can I use this switch for a 110V system?
The SBN225 is rated for 230V. While it might function on a 110V system, it is not designed or rated for it, and using it outside its specified voltage can be unsafe and may lead to malfunction.
How do I reset the switch if it trips?
The SBN225 is a manual switch and does not 'trip' like a circuit breaker. To turn off a circuit, simply move the rocker to the OFF position. To turn it back on, move it to the ON position, provided there is no fault or overload on the circuit.
What size wire can be connected to the terminals?
The terminal size will depend on the specific model's internal design, but generally, for a 25A switch, it would accommodate standard wire gauges used for such current ratings in residential and commercial installations. Consult the product's technical specifications or a qualified electrician for precise wire compatibility.
Is this switch a circuit breaker?
No, the SBN225 is a main switch or load disconnector. It is designed to manually switch circuits ON and OFF but does not provide overcurrent protection like a circuit breaker.
Where is the best place to install this switch?
It is best installed in a consumer unit or distribution board on a DIN rail, typically used for isolating specific circuits or sections of an installation for maintenance or control purposes, provided the environment is dry and indoors.
Troubleshooting
Switch does not change state (ON/OFF)
Ensure the circuit is not overloaded and that the switch mechanism is not obstructed. Verify that the electrical connections are secure. If the issue persists, the switch may be faulty and require replacement by a qualified electrician.
Sparks or excessive heat at the switch terminals
Immediately turn off the power to the circuit. Check for loose connections or signs of damage. Ensure the cable size is appropriate for the 25A rating. This indicates a serious issue and requires inspection and repair by a qualified electrician.
Switch feels stiff or difficult to operate
Check for any obstructions around the switch or within the enclosure. Ensure the switch is correctly mounted on the DIN rail. If stiffness persists, it may indicate an internal issue requiring professional assessment.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Clear and intuitive ON/OFF indication.
- Reliable performance for residential and commercial use.
- Standard 2-pole configuration for common applications.
- Durable construction typical of Hager products.
Cons
- Limited to indoor, dry environments due to IP20 rating.
- Requires professional installation for safety and compliance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This modular switch is designed to be installed within a standard modular electrical enclosure or consumer unit. It requires mounting on a DIN rail. Electrical connections should be made by a qualified electrician, ensuring proper termination of the line and load conductors according to local electrical codes. Ensure the power is completely disconnected before installation or maintenance.
Compatibility: The SBN225 is compatible with standard 35mm DIN rails commonly found in European electrical panels. It operates with 230V AC power systems. It is designed for use with circuits rated up to 25A.
Care: As a static electrical component, the Hager SBN225 requires minimal physical care. Keep the switch and its surrounding environment clean and free from dust and moisture. Periodically inspect the switch and connections (by a qualified professional) to ensure they remain secure and free from corrosion or damage. Do not use abrasive cleaners; a dry or slightly damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning the exterior.
