Discuss MK consumer unit SPD's in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
Do you actually need SPDs on your installs?Hi all,
I'll be wiring up two small new builds, the customer is supplying all the materials, they supplied MK consumer units, the problem is it doesn't seem MK are doing SPD's for their boards.
Any one know of a SPD that fits MK boards?
Thank you in advance
Just out of interest, how many of you know of an instance where lightning has caused transient voltage to damage equipment in an installation?
I was surprised to learn that the Southeast suffers more lightning storms than elsewhere in the UK.
unless you live in the middle of India and experience large amount of voltage surges then it isn't necessary to install spd's. especially for domestic property. if you do need one then put it in a seperate box near the cu and install a wylex one
I guess Arc protection will go the way of RCDs and become an integral part of the MCB?Agree with Richey3333, SPD’s very handy not just about Lightning strikes worth installing nearly every time. Just wait till Arc protection becomes mandatory on all circuits other countries already doing it. Makes up for the cheap electrical items people like to purchase and the dodgy installations.

Seems to be combined RCBO and AFDD.I guess Arc protection will go the way of RCDs and become an integral part of the MCB?
