SPDs - Protection for Protection Devices

It should be made a point that, with residential and business establishments reliant on electronic devices almost entirely, it is more necessary than ever to protect your electrical circuit from unexpected surges. Installing an SPD consumer unit will be one of the most efficient ways to do so. It will not only raise your safety level and extend the lifespan of all your electrical gadgets, but also let you enjoy uninterrupted service.

What Is an SPD Consumer Unit?

The SPD consumer unit is made up of a distribution board with an incorporated Surge Protection Device abbreviated as an SPD. The Surge Protection Device is designed with a specific aim: to safeguard electrical circuits against transient overvoltage surges, commonly referred to as an ‘electrical surge’. These surges normally result from lightning strikes, fluctuations in an electrical power supply, incorrectly wired cables, or rapid switching operations on heavy-duty electrical equipment.

Although these electrical surges are small, they have a significant impact on your system. An important electrical surge can instantly destroy your electronic devices. The small ones will affect the lifespan and efficiency of your system components. All these can occur not only at home but also at workplaces.
