S.P.D.s and Populated Consumer Units.

Zoomup
Are new populated consumer units with S.P.D.s fitted designed to mainly protect the sensitive electronic equipment downstream of the S.P.D.s WITHIN THE CONSUMER UNIT? Is that the makers' MAIN intention as R.C.D.s, R.C.B.Os and other sensitive electronic devices can be damaged by Voltage surges, as compared to basic protective devices like wire or cartridge fuses or more basic M.C.B.s?

    The 'replaceable cartridge' may well be easy to fit, but what's the betting that it'll cost the equivalent of a complete new board to do so in terms of purchase price?




    I've not noticed anyone selling replacement cartridges yet, which of itself is perhaps a good sign that they don't need replacing often. But if instead you bought a whole new 2-pole SPD, that would only set you back about about £80; or £40 per cartridge, assuming you cannibalised it.
