HagerCAD is a specialized computer-aided design (CAD) software developed by Hager Group to simplify the planning, design, and documentation of electrical distribution systems. It is widely used by electrical engineers, panel builders, and installers to create professional circuit diagrams, floor plans, and technical documentation for both residential and commercial buildings. Key Capabilities and Versions
The software scales across different project scopes by offering three distinct editions:
), earthing system (TT, TN, IT), and target ambient temperature.
The application scales alongside your operational demands. The core release, , features a redesigned, highly intuitive interface structured into three application tiers tailored to specific markets: Application Tier Maximum Current Target Use Cases & Key Features Basic Up to 630A
Unlike generic drawing tools, HagerCAD is built specifically for the Hager product portfolio, ensuring that every switchgear component, distribution board, and enclosure you select is available, compatible, and correctly sized. hagercad
Hagercad is built around several core modules that automate many of the traditionally manual tasks in electrical design.
Hagercad is specifically designed for a variety of professionals in the electrical industry:
: Automated schematics can be instantly unlocked and converted to manual view modes. This enables engineers to custom-route individual phase distributions and adjust wiring configurations dynamically. 2. Automatic Enclosure Configuration and Thermal Testing
It performs automatic power loss and heat calculations according to standards like BS EN 61439, ensuring the cabinet can handle the thermal load of the planned devices. The application scales alongside your operational demands

HagerCAD is suitable for a wide range of electrical installation design applications, including:
The construction industry is rapidly digitizing. Tools like HagerCAD represent a shift from to "Configure and Validate." By using a dedicated configuration tool, professionals save time on paperwork, reduce material waste, and ensure safer, compliant installations.
Changes made in the single-line diagram automatically update the structural layout and the Bill of Materials (BOM). 2. Automatic 3D Enclosure Layout Generation
