Hager metal clad enclosures - what a load of pants

[wade88]

Just bought a 2-way hager metalclad enclosure, and 2 rcbos to fit, but the buggers wont fit in the enclosure as the DIN rail has been mounted too high. Anyone else had any experience of this? Im going to drill out the rivets on the DIN rail and drop it half an inch and re rivet it, but what a pain in the arse. There is also no N bar so will have to pop one of those in too, space is becoming at this point somewhat of an issue.

Sounds like its been mis-sold, be careful what the wholesalers sell you over the counter as they are not sparkies, i find its up to me to make sure what ive got is right for my needs or change it there and then.

probably designed for MCBs. no thought given to the extra height of RCBOs.

Could it not have been rcd main switch & mcbs?

Well i think in hindsight it was my boo boo, assumption being the mother of all F ups and all that. I guess i just thought when buying an enclosure with fitted DIN rail that does not specify the exact PD that fit it, that an RCBO would fit. Apparently not. Nothing a couple of rivets and a connector block cant resolve however

You haven't got it upside down have you! Lol

Haha no! I did think this and double checked but the rail is mounted in the centre of the enclosure. I mean its ridiculous really, Hager dont even manufacture a metal enclosure capable of housing an RCBO or an enclosure with with a N bar. Might just weld myself a little one together with some spare 1mm sheet ive got lying around.

Strange that they don't come with a neutral bar. Previous insulated 2 way Hager CUs used to have em!

Their Metal clad Cu's probably do have them fitted, but hes bought an enclosure, maybe designed for a double pole isolator or contactor???

Yea well the metal enclosures appear not to have, its not a major issue its just a little annoying.
