For a long time I have believed that UK consumer units and their components are a lower quality than is generally used in Mainland Europe.
Take for example this Hager SPD and compare it to what is available in the UK.

Hager surge arrester type 215kA
The self-protected Hager surge arrester is equipped with a disconnection device in the event of a short circuit.
its self-protection eliminates the need to protect the surge arrester with a circuit breaker
this Hager surge arrester is ideal for installations with limited power connections (blue tariff) for residential buildings and professional premises
So why is this available and installed just over twenty one miles away from the UK, but not here?
