spd in meter box?

[dunfarming]

Client needs an SPD fitting but no room in c/u or adjacent. Best bet looks like a parallel connection into the tail blocks in the meter cabinet with an adjacent 'standalone unit' ie with overcurrent protection. Anybody done this? Any reason I shouldn't? Is it ok to use board PEN connection block for earth?

Wylex do a tail isolator with type 2 SPD that's rated at 100A so no need to fuse down. This is what I would use just make sure you get your supply and load around the right way round.

Same idea but 1/4 the price...! Have fitted both and not a huge difference in quality tbh , Wylex obvs the benchmark though but I'll be mostly fitting the WCED ..
