Any small commercial project such as student accommodation, hotels, and house in multiple occupation (HMO) are ideally placed to benefit from the Tailored Solutions team. As an example, Hager’s recently launched arc fault detection device (AFDD) hybrid distribution board was specified on a 210-bedroom student accommodation project near Warwick University. With ongoing safety of occupants a primary concern for the accommodation developers, the Tailored Solutions team worked with the project’s contractors to supply 28 of its Hager AFDD hybrid distribution boards.
Complying with BS EN 62606, the AFDD hybrid distribution boards, when combined with Hager’s distribution systems, provides a hybrid solution which has been rigorously tested and validated to offer optimum protection against the harmful effects of dangerous electric arcs.
The boards were delivered to site pre-configured as required, meaning the on-site contractor team had the straightforward task of simple connection which saved time and storage.
