Hagercad < GENUINE • 2024 >

Unlike generic drawing tools, HagerCAD is built specifically for the Hager product portfolio, ensuring that every switchgear component, distribution board, and enclosure you select is available, compatible, and correctly sized.

At its core, Hagercad takes the manual, error‑prone work out of electrical system design. You define your functional requirements in a structured table – specifying circuits, loads, protection devices and accessories – and the software automatically generates everything else: a professional single‑line or multi‑line circuit diagram, a dimensioned 3D layout of the enclosure, a detailed bill of materials, a heat dissipation calculation compliant with IEC/EN 61439, and a polished quotation for your client.

HagerCAD boasts an impressive array of features that set it apart from traditional design tools. Some of its key features include:

Hager has invested heavily in user education, offering multiple pathways to learn Hagercad:

You start by naming your project and selecting the standard you are working to (e.g., IEC, NF, VDE). This sets the symbol libraries and wiring color codes. hagercad

Hit the "Simulate" button. Input the ambient temperature (e.g., 35°C in a boiler room). The software turns red for zones that are overheating and suggests a ventilation fan or a larger enclosure.

It performs automatic power loss and heat calculations according to standards like BS EN 61439, ensuring the cabinet can handle the thermal load of the planned devices.

Version 7 (released in 2025) builds on the foundation of version 6 with several improvements:

HagerCAD represents a significant advancement in the field of electrical distribution design. By offering a powerful, user-friendly, and comprehensive design tool, it addresses the needs of professionals seeking to create efficient, accurate, and compliant electrical systems. As the demand for sophisticated electrical installations continues to grow, tools like HagerCAD are poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of electrical distribution. Through its adoption, professionals can enhance their design capabilities, streamline their workflows, and contribute to safer, more efficient electrical systems. Unlike generic drawing tools, HagerCAD is built specifically

Based on the selected electrical components, the software recommends the optimal enclosure size, taking into account reserve space for future expansions.

To bridge this gap, Hager developed , a specialized, highly intuitive Electrical Computer-Aided Design (ECAD) software. It is tailor-made for electrical contractors, panel builders, and design engineers. The platform streamlines everything from initial planning and circuit design to heat calculation and commercial documentation. What is hagercad?

Users can define structural parameters like target and IK (Impact Protection) values, wire entry points (top or bottom), and a minimum percentage of physical reserve spacing for future system expansions. Hagercad then recommends a matching enclosure family, structures incoming main devices at the top, cleanly maps out modular switches, inserts terminal block rows, and automatically assigns a full bill of required assembly accessories. The resulting chassis can be audited from standard isometric, bottom, or open-face 3D visualizations. 3. Protection Coordination and Error Checking

: It generates a detailed bill of materials directly from the design, streamlining procurement and inventory management. HagerCAD boasts an impressive array of features that

The software’s intelligence is built on a constantly updated database of more than 25,000 Hager products, including miniature circuit breakers, RCDs, surge protectors, busbar systems and enclosures such as quadro4, quadro5, quadro evo and unimes H. Since October 2024, Hagercad has also integrated a selection of WAGO rail‑mount terminal blocks, allowing you to combine the best of both ecosystems seamlessly.

A: Yes. The basic course includes a module on simple KNX lighting control, and the software can incorporate KNX components into your distribution board designs.

The single-line (or unifilar) diagram is the backbone of any electrical project. Hagercad allows users to create these diagrams intuitively. You can drag and drop components—such as circuit breakers, residual current devices (RCDs), surge protection devices (SPDs), and meters—directly into the workspace. The software automatically handles the electrical connections and busbar configurations. 2. Intelligent Enclosure Configuration and 3D Visualization
