The systems used in electrical installations have developed in recent years, which translates into safety and cost of execution. An example is switchboards and the equipment used in them. Traditional solutions used in the assembly of electrical switchboards require the use of screws, which increases the risk of making an error. This is reduced by the innovative QuickConnect technology from Hager. This is a screwless solution that allows for quick installation of a safe electrical connection.

What is Hager QuickConnect technology?
The QuickConnect connection method allows you to connect wires as well as phase bars without screwing on the terminals. QC technology works well in installations with various applications, both in residential distribution boards and larger ones used in multi-family and commercial buildings.
The main feature of Hager QuickConnect technology is the ability to create an electrical installation faster and safer than ever before. By choosing this modular equipment, you save time needed for designing the installation, including the electrical switchboard. Products available in QuickConnect connection technology include differential circuit breakers with overcurrent protection, overcurrent circuit breakers, modular switch disconnectors, vertical and horizontal phase bars.
Each module made in QuickConnect technology has several solutions that facilitate assembly and disassembly. The upper part contains output terminals associated with the QuickConnect system. Instead of screws, special catches use springs. The QuickSnap latch located in its rear part helps in quick disassembly of each component. At the bottom, specialized BiConnect type connectors are mounted. The rear uses screw mounting and protects against incorrect connection of the wire. The front connects to the phase rail via the QuickConnect plug-in system.
Connecting phase busbar wires without screwing terminals
The flagship feature of Hager 's QuickConnect technology is the ability to connect modular devices using phase bars. This is part of the philosophy – plug, don't screw – that was behind the development of this solution. When assembling an electrical switchboard, all that is needed to connect all the elements of the modular equipment is a horizontal phase bar.
Using phase rails in QC technology translates into many significant benefits. Firstly, it is a much safer system. The lack of screws reduces the risk of installation errors. In addition, both assembly and disassembly are much faster, and the rails eliminate the possibility of damaging the installation.
Connecting the components of the equipment “with a plug” using a phase bus also allows for significant savings. It is a cheaper solution and takes up less space. Especially compared to connecting with ordinary cables. The use of Quickconnect technology also facilitates any repairs within the switchboard. Thanks to it, all the equipment is easily accessible to the electrician and allows for quick removal of damaged components.
Convenient and fast switchboard design with the Hager Ready application
Configuration of devices with QuickConnect technology is possible in the Hager Ready application. This is a special tool developed to design residential switchboards faster and safer. Using the application prevents errors during installation design, allows for the appropriate selection of products, and also gives the possibility to generate and print professional labels for the description of the switchboard. Modular devices developed in the QuickConnect connection technology are offered, among others, by the Onninen wholesaler. This is a Finnish company that has as many as 34 branches in Poland. Using its offer, you can order Hager products, including QuickConnect modular devices
What can you find in the range? For example, there is the volta QuickConnect phase terminal, which allows you to connect wires with a diameter of 1.5 to 4 mm. The terminal has one pole and its rated current In is 63 A. Onninen also offers a wide range of supports with Pe/N terminals. The supports are available in 1R, 2R, 3R and 4R versions.
You can also count on a wide range of differential circuit breakers with a 1P+N overcurrent module. Versions with different rated current values are available. The range is from 6 A to 40 A. The models also differ in their tripping characteristics. Type B circuit breakers are available, which work well in home use, as well as type C circuit breakers, which work well in larger installations.
As you can see, QuickConnect technology translates into more efficient and safer preparation of the electrical switchboard. You can find the elements of this modern system in the Onninen wholesaler.
