  • If you go to the extreme, which I have seen done, and run a distribution circuit from the meter cabinet to a consumer unit immediately adjacent to the audio equipment then have very short socket circuit the PSCC will go through the roof at the socket, but all the general rules for installing surge protection in domestic installations go out of the window.

    One of the selling points of the equipment the guy bought is that it has oversized conductors, but surely that creates rather than resolves issues?
