Hi everyone ,
Only my second post and hoping to get some information on installing an SPD Type II incorporated within a new consumer unit upgrade I will be doing next week.
With the new 18th edition regs I’ve been generally installing RCBO consumer units with integral SPD as standard .
The house I’m about to work on has 2 consumer units, The one that is going to be upgraded that has no RCD protection ( bathroom lighting and new sockets being installed ) hence new board ,
Both consumer units are supplied via meter tails split at Henley block,
Now the newly installed board DB1 that supplies the kitchen sockets and an induction hob and oven, already has and Incorporated type 2SPD installed,
This may sound like a stupid question, but will Installing a secondary SPD TYPE 2 incorporated within the consumer unit DB2 I intend to upgrade be beneficial as their is already one installed within DB1?
If so, then great I’ll go ahead and install one as usual, if not, then will install a mains switch consumer unit loaded with RCBO’s with no SPD?
All opinions and comments are appreciated and thanks in advance.
