bloody high risk of some members getting a set of cement boots and a dip in the Mersey. .High risk of someone nicking your consumers unit right off the wall
Have a look at regulation 443.4. As far as I read it SPD's are not required in domestic households. However it is not completely clear. The most relevant part of the regulation states with regards to 'single dwelling units' (which I guess means domestic) that "the total value of the installation and equipment does not justify such protection".
in Liverpool, we leave vans unlocked, house back doors open. southern thieving scum know that the Anfield Mafia will chop their hands off if they come up here thieving. .Liverpool, more risk in getting your van done over..........
I read it as they are assuming the total value of the installation will never justify a SPD in a single dwelling not 'if' the value of the equipment justifies it?Well that’s bowlucss then, my fridge freezer worth more than an SPD. Then there’s the Sky box.......
To my understanding SPD's are not required in town's and larger urban areas but should be fitted in smaller rural areas and in the outskirts of town's where they become more ruralAs per the title, if you were rewiring a small house to be rented out would you, or should you fit an SPD?
Doing one soon and been screwed down on price a bit further than we would like ideally. However we have a quiet few weeks until a couple of bigger jobs start and it's local and empty.
Veering towards not fitting one to be honest. The regs, as ever, are in my opinion inconclusive. They don't appear to specify exactly when SPD's are required.
Now now, I’ll have to fire up the pig again ...So all those places that have had lightning strikes should now be safe.
