HEG Electric is a traditional German family-owned company founded by Hermann Hager, Dr. Oswald Hager and their father Peter Hager. After more than 60 years of diversified development, HEG has grown from a simple factory engaged in the production of electrical accessories to a world-renowned multinational group.
Now Higer is a leading supplier of low-voltage electrical for buildings, with electrical solutions in more than 120 countries around the world, including Shanghai Tomson Yipin, Macau Galaxy Hotel, Hong Kong International Financial Center and other top domestic commercial buildings, with applications covering residential, commercial buildings and industrial plants, etc., with core business scope of power distribution systems, cable management systems, KNX intelligent control systems and switch panel systems, and household circuit breakers in the product line of terminal power distribution systems.
Through mergers and acquisitions of well-known technology companies, Higer Electric continues to expand its own strength. Since 2002, Higer Electric has acquired more than 10 companies, including Polo, a Polish switchgear company, Weber, a Swiss switchboard equipment company, Efen, a German fuse company, and Berker, a German switchgear company. While continuously expanding its scale and revenue, HEG Electric reinvests more than 6% of its turnover in R&D activities, and now has more than 3,000 patents, successfully ranking among the top in the world's electrical industry.
Most of the circuit breaker products of Higer Electric are sold in offline stores, and the e-commerce platform is only sold in the "Hager Home Electric Flagship Store" in Tmall Mall, which is not very convenient for consumers. The main circuit breaker is called MC series, which is also the only series that can be bought online. MC series has excellent performance in terms of performance, 6kA running short-circuit breaking capacity, 20,000 times of mechanical life, and 13 arc extinguishing grids equivalent to Siemens are the top level in the industry, but the highlights of the rest are insufficient, such as the lack of humanized design of wiring, no red and green indicators, etc., and the ease of use needs to be improved. The specifications of the air switch are relatively complete, the number of poles is 1P/1P N/2P/3P/4P, a total of 5 kinds of options, the rated current level is from 10A to 63A, a total of 8 gears, and some of the current specifications will be sold out of individual poles, consumers should pay attention.
Since the 1P N circuit breaker cannot protect the neutral line and the safety is lower than 2P, it is recommended to choose a 2P leakage protection switch that can disconnect and protect the live wire and the neutral line at the same time. Although different brands of circuit breakers can be "mixed and matched", it is not recommended to do so, and the same brand of circuit breaker should be used for the entire circuit. In addition, the cost performance of Higer Electric is also low, and the price can even be compared with Schneider and ABB, with a price of about 32 yuan for 1P10A.
