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?

    Well we are using more electronic devices these days and they are more vunerable to discharge etc.

    So do we try or is it worth it? risk assesss makes sense then act accordingly.


    Years back an electronics teacher stated that for some uses CMOS etc was not used and TTL favoured because they were less suseptable.

    He pointed out thaf if, for instance, Russia set off a nuke in the air over our troops then the tanks etc would prob still function even though the soldiers inside them would have perished.
