So I need to add a new circuit, I was going to do it to amendment 2.. Its a commercial property and will be adding a new circuit for a defibrillator cabinet and associated accessories (lights)... There is a decent enough 3 phase board in place, but there is no SPD.. Obviously if we add a new...
Hello,
I have a Clipsal consumer unit with two "ways" unused and blanked off and potentially a third available as the Proteus Geyer B16 MCB is labelled as "spare". This consumer unit only contains the main double pole isolator and MCB's. Please see the below photo.
I am getting an EV charge...
Hi
We are looking to get an EV charger installed, and I asked for an SPD to be on the new CU that will be required for that.
The electrician has suggested that instead of having an SPD in the new CU, could replace the incoming isolator in the meter cupboard with one that has an SPD incorporated...
Am I on the right lines, I ask?
I've just recently moved into this house which is nicely equipped with a large 15 circuit CU unit with a split load x2 RCD's but first, I think an EICR would be a good idea to give a starting point reference at least, before any work is done
I'm considering having...
Hi.
Wondering whats in an SPD that makes such a price difference between manufacturers? For instance a British General single pole SPD retails for about £20. Wylex £60+ Do they work to the same standard like RCD's? Any way of testing them?
Thanks

Got a customer refusing to pay additional for an spd, its in luton which i believe is known for lightning strikes .
Customer just wants me to install new standard bg board.
Normally, i wouldn't make a fuss, but because its in a lightning zone, im thinking if its mandatory. Or could i put it...
Hi
Trying to sort an argument here, am I right in saying that ALL work including altering existing circuits in commercial and industrial installations requires SPD protection unless a risk assessment is completed.
The only exception would be a direct replacement for maintenance purposes?
Thanks
I bought the new Kewtech MFT - I wasn't expecting it until July. It arrived today so getting to grips with it. Not too different from the kt63 plus woth display. I have the kt64dl too.
It has a function for SPD testing.
Im not quite sure what it tells you though?
Its called SPD varistor test...
I recently had an SPD consumer unit fitted, twice now when I have been using the electric shower, power has been cut for a few seconds then comes back on. I don't think it's a problem with the shower as the light on the ceiling pull cord goes out as well. Any ideas, so I am pre-armed when I...
Hi
Have done some additions to an existing multibuilding non domestic site. I noticed no SPD on the mains intake side, they are in a reasonably high lightning strike area. So suggested they should have one. Did some research and was going to use the Hagar SPA4501 along with the metal IU4...
Going to be fitting a three phase SPG at the origin of a supply. I have solid coper standard 25mm tales that come out of the head into an isolator and then fine stranded 25mm single insulated cables that run from the isolator, within flexible conduit to the Dis boards.
They have used a crimp...
Iv been tasked with upgrading a 16th edition board with a schneider 6 + 8 way acti9 board with spd protection.
SPD was specified for me so I dont have to perform the calculation, however, I am stuck with the specifics of the devices themselves.
Firstly, can the device hang of the back of an...
Hi Guys, Recent EICR carried out at a Church & Hall. Would you code no SPD present at Supply origin & should the Lightning Protection System be connected to the Main Earthing Terminal via another SPD.
Hello and thanks for the interest. I have a little dilemma and was unable to get an answer anywhere.
I'm trying to fit a SPD and an over/under voltage protector to my existing "Main Switch" and "RCD" setup. my question: is the location of the SPD and surge protector correct? thanks
I've been asked about providing inline surge protection for the UPS supplies in numerous network cabinets around our factory and I'm hoping someone more experienced in this might have some suggestions.
There are about 15 cabinets dotted around the factory containing various switches and routers...
