I have just had it confirmed from the manufacturer that the EVSE we are installing does not need overvoltage protection. The installation does need such protection on the basis of the risk assessment method. If I elect to install a SPD, for what reason would I be doing so?
To protect all the electronic equipment in the installation apart from the EV charger? So the LED lamps, the computer, TV, boiler, thermostat, router, USB sockets and all the other myraid of delicate stuff that wouldn't have been around 20 years ago?
Hi Wally, wouldn’t those types of equipment need local surge protection to protect them? I was under the impression that a surge protector covering the whole installation protects only the installation itself, such as electronic RCBOs etc.
