Hager Design 30 Consumer Unit Guide
This Hager Design 30 Consumer Unit Guide has been updated because Hager Design 30 should now be treated as a legacy domestic consumer unit range name. Hager Design Evo is the newer domestic consumer unit platform, covering current single row, flush and double row board options.
This guide remains useful for understanding older Hager Design 30 boards, previous flush-fit product references and replacement considerations. Before ordering any Hager consumer unit or protective device, check the current product listing, board format, number of ways, SPD requirement, RCBO compatibility and manufacturer instructions.

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.
