Full details
The Hager KB163P comb rail is designed for electrical installers and professionals seeking a reliable solution for distributing power across up to 13 single-pole devices within a single-phase system. Its key benefit is providing a safe, insulated, and organized method for connecting multiple circuit breakers or modules. A potential caveat is its specific 1-pole, 1-phase design, limiting its use in multi-phase applications.

Troubleshooting
No power to connected devices
Verify that the main power supply to the comb rail is active. Check that the comb rail is securely connected to the incoming power source and that all connected devices are properly seated on the comb rail terminals. Inspect for any visible damage to the comb rail or connections.
Overheating at connection points
Immediately de-energize the system. Check that the comb rail is rated for the current load. Ensure all connections (both to the comb rail and from the comb rail to devices) are clean, tight, and made with appropriate conductors. Loose connections are a common cause of overheating.
Device not fitting onto the comb rail
Confirm that the device is a single-pole unit compatible with comb rail connections. Ensure the comb rail terminals are clean and free from obstructions. Verify that you are using the correct type of Hager comb rail for your specific distribution board or devices.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the electrical system is de-energized before installation. The KB163P comb rail is designed to slide or clip onto the busbar terminals of compatible Hager devices or distribution boards. It accommodates up to 13 single-pole devices. Connect the incoming power supply to the comb rail's primary connection point, and then attach individual single-pole circuit breakers or modules to the output terminals along the rail. Ensure all connections are firm and secure.
Compatibility: This comb rail is specifically designed for 1-phase, 1-pole applications. It is compatible with Hager distribution boards and consumer units that provide the appropriate mounting and connection points. Verify that the devices you intend to connect (e.g., MCBs, RCDs) are single-pole and have terminals suitable for connection with a prong-type busbar.
Care: Keep the comb rail clean and free from dust and debris. Periodically check connections for tightness, especially after initial installation or if any issues are suspected. Avoid exposing the comb rail to excessive moisture or corrosive environments. Cleaning can be done with a dry or slightly damp cloth; ensure the system is powered off and the cloth is not overly wet to prevent electrical hazards.
