Hagercad Instant

The software bridges the gap between Hager’s physical product catalog and digital design. Instead of manually checking dimensions, bending radii, or thermal constraints, users can drag and drop verified Hager components into a virtual panel. The software automatically manages clearances, wiring paths, and component compatibility. To understand the value of HagerCAD, consider the traditional method: an engineer selects a list of devices (circuit breakers, RCDs, contactors, busbars) from a PDF catalog. They then use generic CAD software to draw rectangles representing those components, hoping the dimensions are accurate. After the design, they manually generate a bill of materials (BOM) and cross-reference prices.

HagerCAD is typically distributed through Hager’s partner network. Unlike off-the-shelf software, Hager provides HagerCAD to certified panel builders, electrical contractors, and Hager partners. This strategic move ensures that those who specify Hager equipment use the optimal tool for their products. hagercad

Manual design methods introduce errors, waste time, and increase material waste. HagerCAD transforms a complex, error-prone manual drafting task into a streamlined, automated engineering process. It reduces design time by up to 70%, eliminates BOM mistakes, and ensures full compliance with IEC 61439. To understand the value of HagerCAD, consider the
