Hagercad
Why not just use AutoCAD or SolidWorks?
Let the software automatically recommend and populate the physical distribution board. Fine-tune the arrangement visually in a 2D or 3D view.
It calculates the required space and suggests the most fitting Hager enclosures (such as quadron, univers, or vega panels).

Hagercad 6 introduced several enhancements designed to improve user experience and efficiency:
: Built for major industrial infrastructure and large commercial complexes requiring power configurations up to 4000A. It supports complex networking, custom workflows, and deep Building Information Modeling (BIM) data exchanges. Key Features and Automation Capabilities 1. Assisted Single-Line and Multi-Line Diagrams Why not just use AutoCAD or SolidWorks
: Inputting expected operational power values in a given cell prompts an automatic calculation of circuit current.
is a free, professional planning and configuration software provided by Hager Group. It allows users to design electrical distribution boards and calculate the necessary equipment dimensions with high accuracy.
Hagercad is built around several core modules that automate many of the traditionally manual tasks in electrical design. It calculates the required space and suggests the
A: You need an internet connection for installation, updates, and licensing verification (via your MyHager account). Once the software is activated, you can work offline for a period of time, but regular online connection is recommended.
Visit the official Hager Group website to find the latest version of hagercad (currently moving toward version 6.0).
Hagercad has matured into a mature, specialised electrical planning suite that eliminates much of the manual labour traditionally associated with low‑voltage distribution board design. For electrical professionals working with Hager equipment – whether you are a self‑employed electrician designing a domestic consumer unit or a panel builder planning a 4,000 A commercial main distribution board – the software offers a free entry point, a gentle learning curve, and a built‑in guarantee that your designs are compliant and complete.
