Hager Motor Controls and Drives

Hager Contactors – Reliable Switching for Motors and Circuits

Hager contactors are engineered for dependable operation in both residential and industrial control panels. Current ratings range from 9 A to 100 A, covering single-phase lighting loads up to multi-motor assemblies. The coils operate on 24 V, 48 V, 110 V, or 230 V AC/DC, giving engineers flexibility across automation systems.

Each contactor features silver-alloy contacts rated for over 1 million mechanical cycles, while arc-chute chambers reduce contact wear and heat rise. With DIN-rail width of 45 mm, installation stays consistent across all pole configurations. From experience, replacing older mechanical contactors with Hager units can reduce coil consumption by up to 30 %, especially in 24 V DC control cabinets.

Hager Relays – Compact Interfaces for Control Logic

In control loops, reliability depends on clear signalling. Hager interface relays and time relays are built for panel density and electrical endurance. Switching capacity reaches 10 A at 250 V AC, with coil isolation tested to 2.5 kV.

Time-delay relays provide adjustable ranges from 0.1 s to 100 h, allowing fine-tuned sequencing in automation lines or lighting control. The transparent housings and front LEDs simplify maintenance and status diagnostics — a detail electricians appreciate during commissioning.

Hager Motor Starters – Complete Start-Stop Control

For small to mid-size motors, Hager motor starters integrate contactor and overload protection in a single modular unit. Available up to 32 A, they support both direct-on-line (DOL) and reversing configurations.

The thermal-magnetic elements maintain trip precision even under temperature variation. In practice, a C-curve contactor with 10 A overload safely starts motors up to 4 kW at 400 V, with a short-circuit withstand of 6 kA when used alongside Hager protective breakers.

Modularity across starters and auxiliaries means a spare coil or overload relay can be replaced without rewiring the whole assembly — ideal for facilities where uptime matters.

Hager Overload Relays – Thermal Protection You Can Trust

Overload protection is the safeguard against overheating and motor failure. Hager overload relays operate on a bi-metal or electronic principle, tripping between 1.0 and 1.2 × In. Adjustment dials allow precise setting to motor current; reset can be manual or automatic.

Temperature compensation ensures stable behaviour from –20 °C to +60 °C. Each relay includes normally-closed and normally-open auxiliary contacts for signalling to PLCs or alarms. From experience, properly matched overload relays extend motor life by 20–30 % and prevent unplanned maintenance.

Hager DIN-Rail Control Gear – Modular Efficiency

All Hager control gear components share one mounting logic: 35 mm DIN-rail standard. Dimensions align perfectly with Hager enclosures and distribution boards, simplifying layout and cable routing. Label carriers, auxiliary contacts, and mechanical interlocks are cross-compatible within the same family.

For installers, this means fewer spare types and faster assembly. For procurement, it means unified stock that fits every control panel design, reducing SKU complexity.

Hager Automation Components – Integrating Power and Control

Automation projects demand tight coordination between sensors, logic, and actuators. Hager automation components bridge these layers: signal relays, timers, and motor controllers communicate easily with PLCs or smart building systems. The design follows IEC 60947 standards, ensuring safety and interoperability.

Procurement teams often choose Hager because the documentation, terminal markings, and wiring diagrams are identical across product lines — saving time during certification and export procedures.

What Procurement Managers Should Consider

• Match contact rating and coil voltage to application (24 V control, 230 V distribution, 400 V motors).
• Keep standard frame sizes (9 A, 18 A, 32 A, 63 A) in warehouse stock.
• Verify short-circuit coordination with Hager breakers for fault-current compliance.
• Order auxiliary contact blocks and timers together to maintain modular compatibility.
• Use thermal relays matched to motor current for reliable trip behaviour.
• Prefer complete starter kits for consistent packaging and fewer missing parts on site.

These small steps ensure predictable installation and fewer delays in commissioning.
