Energy efficiency lies at the heart of present and future building construction. Energy performance relies on the quality of the networks transmitting the energy: sizing, maintenance and monitoring.
And to guarantee maximum reliability in electrical installations, low voltage panels must incorporate solutions renowned for their simplicity and efficiency. Hager's h3+ anticipates and incorporates the standards governing energy distribution in commercial buildings.

Energy efficiency lies at the heart of present and future building construction. Energy performance relies on the quality of the networks transmitting the energy: sizing, maintenance and monitoring. And to guarantee maximum reliability in electrical installations, low voltage panels must incorporate solutions renowned for their simplicity and efficiency.
Hager's h3+ anticipates and incorporates the standards governing energy distribution in commercial buildings. The new IEC 60 364 standard states that energy must be used as efficiently as possible. It also highlights the importance of adopting an energy efficiency approach right from the building design stage, on a par with safety and commissioning rules. It classifies energy performance in new buildings on five levels.
The IEC 60 364 standard includes recommendations and a continuous improvement methodology, along with verification steps for the results obtained. It also requires an electrical energy management system to be integrated in the installation.
The system must be able to manage various energy sources, monitor energy usage and take account of usage habits within the building. The standard focuses on three points: minimising energy loss, using energy at the right time and at the lowest cost, and maintaining an optimal level of availability and performance.
The Hager solution also addresses buildings involved in the ISO 50001 certification process, which involves the creation of an energy consumption improvement plan.
It responds to the applicable decree aimed at reducing energy consumption in existing buildings. From the traditional version to the intelligent connected model: discover the multi-faceted range of h3+ circuit breakers.
Featuring the compact frame sizes, available from 25 to 630 A with three or four poles, the h3+ provides superior protection and a breaking capacity up to 110kA. Equipped with a thermal magnetic or electronic trip unit, the moulded case circuit breaker range offers an accurate benefit: flexible protection settings for all electrical distribution applications.
The new generation of Hager h3+ moulded case circuit breakers guarantees reliable protection against overloads and short circuits, as well as targeted, integrated energy monitoring for all low voltage distribution systems.
h3+ traditional version – guaranteed protection
The new range of moulded case circuit breakers provides solutions suitable for electrical installations in commercial buildings. It offers reliable protection against overloads and short circuits.
The multiple setting options, created by coordinating the protection systems, offer the best possible combinations. This brings a threefold benefit: guaranteeing user and equipment safety under all conditions, ensuring continuity of service and availability of energy in normal operating situations, and, in case of transient faults, reducing the risks to the installation's components.
In addition to the traditional version: h3+ energy version – intelligent and connected mode
Hager is complying with energy efficiency standards by adding new functions to its moulded case circuit breaker range.
A Class 1 energy monitoring and communication system compatible with the Modbus RTU protocol can be used to configure the protection parameters, monitor energy consumption and manage alarms.
