Product Information
Full details
The Hager HAB406 is a 4-pole modular main switch designed for safe isolation and reliable operation in low-voltage AC networks up to 415V. It's ideal for electricians and system integrators needing a robust, easily controlled disconnect solution, offering padlockable security in the OFF position. A potential consideration is its IP20 front-side protection, requiring it to be installed within an enclosure for full environmental protection.

FAQs
What is the maximum voltage and current rating of the HAB406?
The HAB406 is rated for a maximum AC voltage of 415V and a rated permanent current of 63A (at AC-21).
Can this switch be used outdoors?
No, the HAB406 has an IP20 front-side protection rating, meaning it is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5mm but not against water. It must be installed within a suitable enclosure for environmental protection.
How many poles does this switch have?
The Hager HAB406 is a 4-pole switch.
What type of connection does it use for the main circuit?
It uses screw connections and can accommodate cage terminals up to a maximum of 16mm².
Is the rotary control lockable?
Yes, the rotary control can be padlocked directly on the component in the OFF position for safety.
What mounting options are available?
It is suitable for mounting on a standard 35mm DIN rail or directly onto a mounting plate.
Does it come with auxiliary contacts?
No, the HAB406 does not come with integrated auxiliary contacts (normally closed, normally open, or change-over).
Troubleshooting
Device does not switch ON/OFF
Ensure power is available and the rotary knob is not locked with a padlock. Check wiring connections for tightness and correct polarity.
Switch is stiff or difficult to turn
Power off the device and inspect the rotary mechanism for obstructions. Ensure it is correctly mounted and not under mechanical stress. If issues persist, contact a qualified electrician.
Overheating at terminals
Immediately disconnect power. Check that the correct size conductors (up to 16mm²) are used and properly secured in the screw terminals. Ensure the current load does not exceed the rated 63A. Loose connections are a common cause of overheating.
Padlock does not engage correctly
Ensure the switch is fully in the OFF position. Check that the padlock shackle is of appropriate size and not interfering with the mechanism. Inspect the padlock holes for damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Mounting: The HAB406 can be mounted onto a standard 35mm DIN rail or directly onto a mounting plate using appropriate screws (not included).
- Wiring: Connect the incoming power lines to the appropriate input terminals and outgoing load lines to the output terminals. Ensure compliance with local electrical codes. The device accepts cage terminals up to 16mm².
- Control Element: The light gray rotary knob is used for ON/OFF switching and can be padlocked in the OFF position.
Compatibility:
- Voltage: Compatible with AC voltage ratings between 380V and 415V.
- Current: Suitable for circuits with a rated permanent current of up to 63A (AC-21).
- Enclosure: Due to its IP20 rating, it must be installed within a suitable electrical enclosure to protect against dust and accidental contact.
Care:
- Cleaning: Disconnect power before any cleaning. Use a dry or slightly damp, lint-free cloth to wipe down the exterior. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the terminals for tightness and the rotary knob for smooth operation. Ensure the padlock mechanism functions correctly. Always ensure the device is within an enclosure and dust-free.
