    Surge protection devices for PME supplies?

    I've been installing Type 2 SPDs in consumer units for several years now, and they always come as a pair, connected across L & E, and across N & E. Typically they plug into a holder, sometimes as two separate SPDs (e.g. Hager, with separate E connections), more often now as one combined SPD...
