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

    With a TV, for some years my view has been that if the lightning has jumped goodness knows how many metres from the cloud to your TV aerial, then pulling out the coax plug and leaving it on the carpet is not going to make much difference than leaving connected when the lightning now jumps from that coax plug to your TV...


    If you are detecting the thunderstorm/lightning from the bangs of thunder, don't forget the worst case scenario when the lightning strikes your aerial whilst the metal coax plug is in your fingers...
