Surge Protection devices

[Jimmy Boy]

Hi lads tried a quick search nothing came up, hope you can help, the IT dept has asked me if it is feasible to fit an SPD in the tails before the CU to protect the whole building against V spikes, anyone have experience of knowledge of these ?

Thanks Lads

One that I fitted connects to a 32A MCB in the consumer unit.
It was one of these, all wholesalers can get them, but rarely stock them, hence can get them.

not sure about the whole building,but if you have a racks with your it stuff in,we fit these for cctv racks, pa racks etc

I would usually fit surge arrestors after the isolator. Is there no room in the CU itself? I'm sure it would be easier in the CU as you'll need a decent earth connection as well.
