Product Information
Full details
The Hager HAC408 is a professional-grade 4-pole switch-disconnector engineered for industrial and commercial low-voltage electrical networks. It is ideal for facility managers and licensed electricians requiring a reliable method for circuit isolation and power control. While it offers robust performance and safety features like a lockable handle, users should note that installation must be performed by qualified personnel to ensure compliance with electrical safety standards due to the nature of high-amperage connections.

FAQs
Is the Hager HAC408 suitable for residential use?
While technically possible, it is primarily designed for commercial and industrial 400V applications; consult a licensed electrician regarding your specific requirements.
Can this switch be used to break load under full current?
Yes, this unit is specifically designed as a load breaker, meaning it is rated for safe switching while under electrical load.
Does this product come with a padlock?
No, the device includes the padlock mechanism, but the padlock itself must be purchased separately.
What is the maximum voltage this device can handle?
The HAC408 is rated for AC input voltages between 380V and 415V.
Is the Hager HAC408 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the unit is certified compliant with RoHS standards.
Troubleshooting
Rotary handle is stiff or difficult to turn
Ensure the device is not under mechanical stress from stiff cabling pressing against the housing and check for alignment on the DIN rail.
Terminal connections show signs of heating
Immediately de-energize the circuit, inspect for loose wires, and retighten terminals to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-capacity 80A current handling for industrial demands
- Padlockable handle ensures safety during equipment servicing
- Flexible mounting options for diverse electrical cabinet layouts
- Compact modular design optimizes space within enclosures
Cons
- Restricted to trained professionals for installation
- IP20 rating offers limited protection against moisture or fine dust
- Requires manual operation via rotary knob
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the HAC408 must strictly follow local electrical codes. The device supports two installation methods: clipping onto a standard DIN rail or fixing directly to a mounting plate via screws. When connecting cables, ensure the conductors are properly stripped and secured within the cage terminals at the specified torque to prevent overheating. Care for the device is minimal, though it is recommended to conduct a periodic visual inspection of the terminals for signs of heat discoloration or loose wires. Ensure that the front-side rotary control is kept clear of debris, as the IP20 rating does not protect against liquid ingress.
