MK consumer unit SPD's

[bro8284]

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

MK do sell an SPD, or at least did, there is some stock at CEF

Ypu can get third party ones; Surge Protection Devices Ltd are 1 such provider, am sure others exist too

It's not just about writing a risk assessment is it? You have to complete the equation and get a satisfactory answer >1000

There have been some significant changes to this in amm 2

in amendment 2 the client can say they don’t want one, I’m not sure they have the technical expertise to decide these things !

A Fusebox SPD kit is just £30 these days and if a customer can't be convinced to spend the £30 to protect a four figure sum's worth of equipment then I'm not sure I want them as a customer.
At least with amendment 2 it's as simple as "ok, sign here that SPD was advised and you are declining one".
And whether they do any good or not they do make the consumer unit look more exciting!
