Why the Hager Design 30 Stands Out
This guide to Hager Design 30 consumer unit explains why this range is a favourite among electricians seeking both safety and modern aesthetics.

Available in both surface-mounted and flush-fit models, the range covers 2–40 ways, suitable for everything from compact flats to large residential properties.

Safer
The Design 30 consumer unit features a pre-installed cable clamp that secures meter tails with a single screw. This keeps main switch terminals tight and prevents loosening over time, improving long-term safety.
Easier Installation
With ample wiring space and reduced height RCBOs (up to 32A) designed to match MCB height, the Design 30 simplifies installations — even in tight consumer unit enclosures.
Secure
A Health & Safety Lock Kit And Padlock (VMHBL and JK25A) let you lock off the consumer unit before occupation, enhancing site safety. Once the lock is removed, the retained cover can be clipped back in place with ease.
The Full Package
This range is backed by a wide portfolio of installation accessories — including protector plates, cable clamps, and mounting brackets — to create a neat, professional finish tailored to the project.
