Focus on the new Hager range of Air Circuit Breakers: hw+

With hw+, you will benefit from maximum flexibility in the design phase.

 



Configurator, software and app
to complete the hw+ range

We support you at all stages of your project. To properly design, integrate, commission and monitor your hw+ ACBs, there are additional tools and resources to give you the answers you need.

Web Configurator

With the hw+ web configurator, you can customise your circuit breaker according to your needs and choose from type, trip unit or configuration of your ACB. View Configurator

 

Hager Power setup

The Hager Power Setup software assists you with predefined settings during commissioning.

 

Hager Power Touch app

Combined with the sentinel Energy trip unit, the Hager Power touch app offers you a completely new user experience. Checking settings, operating status and maintenance information becomes even easier. In addition, you can monitor the measured values at any time. 

 

 


hw+ sentinel trip unit

The flexible one.

The sentinel trip unit manages to combine all the functions and tools you need in just one system thanks to its intelligent design. This gives you flexibility in reacting to changes in your distribution system at any time. The LCD-display and encoder wheels make its operation simple. All protection settings can be easily carried out directly on the trip unit. 


hw+ sentinel Trip Unit: Features

LCD

The easy-to-read LCD display allows for easy adjustment and configuration of your shutter release.

Trip Unit Sentinel

Safe adjustment of the LSI sentinel trigger by means of encoder wheels and LCD display.

 

OAC Module

Up to five optional Output Alarm Contacts can be connected via terminal blocks to monitor the main tripping causes.

 

Terminal Blocks

Easy extension by terminals for all the auxiliaries (motor, coils, switches, etc.) via quickconnect.

 

Push & Lock Coils

Safe and easy mounting. Coils are easily and safely mounted thanks to Push & lock system.

Safety Shutters

Lockable safety shutters protect the main contacts as soon as the circuit breaker is removed from the chassis, using withdrawable technology.

 

QR Code

Access information and technical documents by scanning the QR code on the device.

Release & lock catch

The position latch is not only used to release the chassis position during racking operation but also used to lock it, with up to 3 padlocks.

 

USB-C Connection

Allows settings to be sent from the Hager Power setup software.


LSI Sentinel Trip Unit

How to set it up?

The parameters of the LSI sentinel trigger can be adjusted on the front panel using encoder wheels. In addition, the LCD display can be activated via the USB-C interface with a power source, battery or laptop, to view the settings made.

  

 


Turning on the screen

Power the display with a power bank
or laptop.

Encoder Wheel

Use the encoder wheel to change the setting values. Each parameter is displayed in real time, in amperes or seconds.

Visualisation of the current rate

The display simultaneously shows the current rate of the most consuming phase. The amperes shown in digital form, and the percentage of the Ir control current as a graph.

 

Neutral Protection

Open the battery compartment to access the neutral protection encoder wheel.


hw+ sentinel Energy

The smart one.

The sentinel Energy trip unit elevates your user experience. With a powerful coloured TFT display, operations are enhanced. Alongside all the sentinel trip unit features, it adds communication, advanced protections, alarms, metering, and control functions for high demands


hw+ sentinel Energy: Features

LCD

The easy-to-read LCD display allows for easy adjustment and configuration of your shutter release.

Bluetooth Connection

Monitor your ACB with the Hager Power Touch app using the Energy LSI sentinel trigger by on Bluetooth.

 

Communication Module

Optional communication modules (COMs) enable communication via Modbus-RTU or Modbus-TCP.

Remote Display

The optional remote display provides access to the ACB display when mounted behind a door or solid panel.

Module OAC

Remotely inform of customisable predefined events (49 available) with the optional OAC module, which drives up to 5 output contacts.

Connecting coils

The transmit and close coils are ready to receive on/off commands from the Hager Power touch app, Hager Power setup software, or Modbus communication.

USB-C connection

Allows the trigger to operate without mains power, connect to a computer, use Hager Power setup software for testing and commissioning.

 


LSI sentinel Energy 
Trip Unit

With the clear graphic TFT display, you will have all the important information in view.


Automatic parameter scrolling screen

You can choose to scroll through your favourite settings or metering screens by activating Live mode. Up to 36 predefined screens are available.

Viewing measurements

You can retrieve all parameters at any time by pressing the OK button. Most measured values can be displayed both numerically and graphically.

Trip and alarm notifications

A colour code defines the level of criticality of the events: orange for an alarm, red for tripping operation.

 

Protection integrated
into quadro evo

All ACBs in the hw+ range can be easily integrated into our quadro evo switchboard solution. This way, the centrepiece of your power supply is exactly where it needs to be, at the heart of your electrical panel.


Maximise the full potential 
with a range of accessories

Unlock the full potential of hw+

The hw+ ACB solution includes a complete set of accessories to achieve control, signalling and interlocking. This allows you to configure your ACB to your specific needs, have full control over the performance of the ACB and can react flexibly to changing requirements in your system.

 

Auxiliary Contacts (AX)

Auxiliary contacts are used to remotely signal the status of the ACB (ON or OFF).
• 4 auxiliary contacts (AX) are fitted as standard on the HW1 and HW2 ACBs,
• 6 auxiliary contacts (AX) are fitted as standard on the HW4 ACBs,
• ready to be connected.

 

Spring Loading Motor (MO)

The spring loading motor is used to load the ACB closing mechanism. It is available for all common supply voltages.

Coils

The coils allow the ACB to be opened or closed remotely. A total of 3 coils can be mounted in the ACB:
• 1 emission coil (SH)
• 1 low voltage (UV) coil
• 1 closing coil (DC)
• Communicating coil option for sentinel Energy LSI

Push Button Lock

The push buttons can be locked to prevent unwanted pressing. This also allows the ACB to mechanically force the OFF position.

 

Key lock in the OFF position (OLK)

To lock the position of the OFF button, simply mount a Ronis key lock.

Mechanical Interlocking (MI)

Locking 2 or 3 ACBs together for security applications. Compatible with all versions of circuit breakers (3P and 4P, fixed and plug-in).
