        Hager | 12 Pole Single Phase Fork Style Insulated Busbar 80A 16mm² | Stone Grey

        The Hager KDN180A is a 12 pole single phase fork style copper busbar rated for 80A at 230V, with plastic insulation on the body and fork-style connections that reduce wiring effort and prevent hot spots. Designed for single phase distribution in switchboards, the KDN180A eliminates the need for looping active conductors, allowing cable connections to land directly on the fork terminals with screw or quick-connect fixings. The 210mm length suits standard DIN rail enclosures and panel mounting applications. Each terminal accepts rigid cable up to 16mm², with a 12mm pitch between poles for consistent spacing across the busbar run.

        Electricians and panel builders appreciate fork-style busbars because they cut installation time significantly compared to looped building wire, especially on high-pole-count applications. The fork design distributes fault currents more evenly across the bar, reducing the risk of localized heating that can damage cable insulation. The Hager KDN180A is stone grey epoxy-insulated for durability in industrial and domestic switchboard environments.

        Features

        • 12 pole fork configuration — provides direct cable connection points without active conductor looping, reducing labour time and installation complexity on multi-circuit switchboards.
        • Single phase connection — designed for 1P distribution in domestic and light commercial switchboards where active and neutral conductors land on separate busbar runs.
        • 80A rated current — carries full circuit load on a single busbar run, suitable for main distribution and sub-board applications at 230V single phase.
        • Screw and quick-connect fixings — mixed connection options mean cable can be terminated with either screw clamps or push-fit quick terminals, adapting to different jobsite preferences.
        • 16mm² cable capacity — accepts rigid conductor sizes up to 16mm², standard for residential and small commercial sub-circuits; larger circuits require separate busbar runs.
        • Stone grey epoxy insulation — plastic body provides electrical isolation and mechanical protection in standard DIN rail-mounted or surface-mounted enclosures.
        • 210mm length with 12mm pole pitch — fits standard enclosure widths and allows even spacing of cable connection points across the full busbar run.
        • Copper fork terminals — low-resistance connection points reduce volt drop over the busbar and ensure consistent current distribution to each circuit.
        • Hager quality construction — manufactured to industrial standards and tested for performance under fault and normal operating conditions.
        • No looping required on active connections — each cable terminates directly on a separate fork, simplifying installation and reducing the risk of miswiring or loose connections.
        • WEEE compliant — material disposal and recycling aligned with European waste electrical equipment directive, important for certified installations.

        Where to use

        • Domestic switchboards — the KDN180A is a standard choice in residential main boards and sub-distribution boards for looping-free active circuit connections.
        • Light commercial and office installations — panel builders use the 12 pole fork busbar in standard-sized enclosures for consistent, fast assembly without manual looping.
        • Rental and multi-tenant properties — fork busbars allow quick circuit changes and upgrades without disturbing neighboring circuits or requiring complete rewiring.
        • Renovation and retrofit work — when upgrading existing sub-boards, the KDN180A fits standard enclosures and installs faster than reworking looped building wire.
        • Industrial control panels — DIN rail-mounted or enclosed busbar applications where many small circuits need to terminate at a central distribution point.
        • Generator and backup power distribution — the KDN180A handles single phase backup power circuits in residential and small commercial standby systems.

        The Hager KDN180A is designed for single phase switchboard and sub-board applications only. It is not suitable for three phase distribution (3P or 3P+N applications require three phase busbar combs). The 80A rating applies to the busbar itself and must be protected by an appropriately sized main switch and RCD on the supply side; each individual circuit landing on the busbar must have its own circuit breaker or RCBO rated to the cable size and the expected load. The KDN180A should not be used in environments subject to moisture, chemical exposure, or temperatures exceeding the rated insulation limits; for outdoor, damp, or corrosive locations, enclosed or weatherproof busbar systems are more appropriate.

        Verified Sparky Direct customer reviews: Hager 12 Pole Single Phase Fork Style Insulated Busbar 80A 16mm² (KDN180A)

        "Hager stuff - works great." — Matt

        "Excellent connection to CBs." — Russell

        "Excellent service, quick delivery." — Anonymous

        (KDN180A)

        A fork busbar like the KDN180A has individual terminals (forks) for each cable connection, whereas looped building wire requires electricians to manually loop the active conductor around a terminal screw. Fork busbars cut installation time by 50 percent or more, eliminate the risk of loose loops, and distribute fault current more evenly.

        No. The KDN180A is a single phase busbar only. Three phase applications require a three phase busbar comb (e.g., Clipsal RMXPH312 or NLS 30850) with separate poles for each phase.

        The KDN180A is rated for rigid cable up to 16mm² cross-section. Flexible cable may fit but is not recommended; use rigid building wire (TPS, NYAF, or single-core) for optimal terminal contact and no risk of strand escape.

        No. The stone grey epoxy insulation is designed for dry indoor enclosures (switchboards, distribution boards, DIN cabinets). Outdoor, damp, or corrosive environments require enclosed or stainless steel busbars. For wet locations, consult Hager's weatherproof busbar range or a distribution board with sealed connections.

        Each circuit on the KDN180A must be protected by an individual circuit breaker or RCBO (typically 6–32A) rated to the cable size. The entire busbar run should be protected by a main switch (63–80A) and an RCD (30mA Type A or B) installed on the supply side before the busbar.
