    what would you recommend as better?
    Legrand or Hager circuit breakers?
    I'm interested in B :)

    what are your opinions about these two companies?

    I would choose Legrand, a proven company, works in an electrical shop and the most frequently chosen company by installers is Legrand. Do not select off overcurrent circuit breakers integrated with differential-current due to the failure rate (low, but there are returns for these modules).

    Good equipment in terms of price and endurance does ETI.

    Regards :D

    Definitely Legrand, Moeller also makes good es, and Merlin-Gerin is also very happy

    Japolecam Legranda (Fael Zabkowice Śląskie) - very high quality (I was in the factory - high quality machines and assembly), high functionality (e.g. quick to describe) and, of course, failure-free. As for Eti, they have recently improved the quality a bit, but for a few or several dozen zlotys it is better not to risk it.

    And I recommend Hager. I had the pleasure (maybe just such a play) with Legrand; "differential" 30mA and struck already at about 10mA and Hager, when he had 30mA, struck at 30. Regards.

    Hello. I recommend Hager, cheaper than Legrand, and with the Legrand differential I had what my friend stopped holding after a few breaks, and knocked out by herself. Hager has been trouble-free so far.
    Moeller - and I do not recommend it, not much cheaper than Hager, but with different quality.
    But I always give the investor a choice, Legrand, Moeller, Hager, with a slight emphasis on Hager.

    it's 3: 2 for legrand so far ... I like Legrand better. Well, maybe someone will say :)

    From this it follows that both switches were defective. The differential should sound at 15-20 mA. In fact, differentials are most often incorrectly installed (connection errors in the installation - eg "N" connections of different circuits, leakage of devices) and not faulty. The testing procedure is very rigorous so there is no reason why we should often encounter a really faulty differential. By the way, let me mention that I often encountered damage to residual current devices due to the dust in the apparatus. Most often, during the construction (or expansion) of the cameras, you do not protect yourself from dust (because what for), which causes erroneous operation of the camera. However, this is not the fault of the equipment but "ours". Electricians, however, prefer to rebuke the company and be "clean" themselves.

    Then what is the difference for is 30mA; 15mA; 6mA, since the 30th will break at 15-20, the 15th will probably break at 8-10mA, and 6mA will probably break at 1mA. I am of this opinion (I am not a master in electricity; in the profession for about 3 years also an electrician by education and a passion for electronics) that if there is 15mA on the differential, it should break out at about 15mA (limit 3, 4mA).
    PS I moved away a bit from the topic.

    Differential is a device that helps to protect health and life. Probably safety factors are assumed so that at these 30 mA it will surely break out. I would have to refer to the standards and I do not have them at hand.

    As for my opinion, I would recommend Legrand. Although, like Hager, it is also a French company, it also has some Polish roots, due to the fact that it took over our native Fael. It is worth mentioning that Faela switches were very good switches, and in their time the only ones available on the Polish market. While working in an electrical goods store, I have already sold a lot of Legrand's esports and I have not had a single return - that surely proves something. Hager's not that bad either, but in my opinion, he lacks a bit of Legrand.

    Hager also has "Polish roots". It is produced in Tychy, although not everything (e.g. differentials are not), but a large part of the production is made of these. Legrand is a bit more expensive, and installers buy it because the designer does the project for Legrand.
    The company will give the designer a program free of charge, with the database of "his company" only, without the possibility of adding it. It is "hanging" for the designer, he has the program for free, he does not have to get hurt. And the inspector requires compliance with the design.
    I personally did not get a project other than on Legrand. It is only with the investor that I agree on the brand of the accessories, I make changes to the design (accessories), the designer has to take it into account and correct it, and I fight with the construction manager, which is a deviation. So far, the designer has always changed. The choice of the company is to be the investor's decision, not the designer or contractor's decision.
    Krobek - what's Hager missing ???
    And generally, which installer will return one ESC, because maybe it is defective, if I find it, I throw it away and that's it. A few have happened to me, mostly Moeller.

Topic summary

The discussion centers on the comparison between Legrand and Hager circuit breakers and electrical boxes. Participants express a preference for Legrand, citing its proven reliability and frequent use by installers. Some users mention issues with Hager's differential circuit breakers, noting that they may trip at lower currents than specified. However, others advocate for Hager, highlighting its cost-effectiveness and trouble-free performance. The conversation also touches on the importance of proper installation and maintenance of electrical devices to avoid malfunctions. Overall, opinions are divided, with a slight lean towards Legrand based on quality and user experience.
