Wylex REC2SPD

Will Elec
Hi all,


I bought one of these for the first time today for a job I have coming up. I was suprised when I opened it up to find the SPD linked to the isolator by just 2.5mm wires, as these are the factory connection I guess this is the norm but I was suprised all the same! Why so small? I was expecting a copper busbar!


Thanks,

Will

    I installed a Wylex consumer unit with a preinstalled SPD several weeks ago, but didn’t take any photos.


    As I remember it there is conductors linked between the balcony busbar terminals of the CU main switch and the SPD terminals.


    It seems impossible to connect them with busbars unless the manufacturer supplies some bent busbars that I have not seen.


    What is on the other end of the SPD conductors in the in the main switch SPD combi unit you have been supplied with?
