Surge Protection & Inspection Intervals

PG
If it is considered that an unskilled person could not, safely, replace an SPD surge module;-

Should the recommended interval until the next inspection be shortened if an SPD is part of the Installation (to take into account the limited operating life of the SPD).

If so, are there any guides to the amount of interval reduction?

    This time of year most storms are later in the day, so perhaps in the mornings before equipment is put into use to check the SPD did not operate the night before.


    How it’s not inconceivable that there could be a double whammy, a second surge shortly after the SPD devices failed, maybe a audio or visual alarm is required to allow you to shut down parts of the installation and take appliances out of service.


    So, the question is, what is the likelihood of a double whammy?
