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?


Regards

    When I were a lad, some folk would unplug the telly before bed or unplug the aerial, or a combination of the two. It was considered foolish to watch the telly during a thunder storm.


    As, probably, a suburbanite, It seems that I should have SPD, except that I don't think that we have sufficient vulnerable gear.


    So what are home-owners supposed to do? Check the SPD after every thunder storm? On the basis that any over-voltage may occur any time, check every day?


    Back to the motoring analogy, I am sure that the careful members of this forum inspect their tyres on a daily basis. Why not? ?
