Surge Protection Devices (SPD)


Is surge protection a regulation?

In 2019, surge protection was mandated under the 18th edition of the British Standards (BS7671). All new commercial installations are now required to have it in place. Additionally, the regulations strongly recommend that most existing installations, especially commercial premises that could incur significant losses due to power surges, also implement surge protection.

 

What are the true costs of not having surge protection?

Surges occur frequently for various reasons (see below for more information) and their consequences can vary from reduced equipment lifespan to complete failure and irreparable damage to all electrical systems and internal wiring. This can even lead to fire hazards. Typically, your electricity supplier will not be held liable, and your insurance may not cover the replacement costs. Hidden costs can include system downtime, loss of  business, customer delays, decreased productivity, and increased staff overtime.

 

What types of voltage surges are there, and how likely are they to occur?

There are primarily two types of voltage surges: 

 

External surges: often caused by lightning strikes up to half a mile away, or issues from your electrical supplier.

 

Internal transient over-voltage surges: These can occur within your electrical system.

 

An Aviva insurance survey revealed that 35% of voltage surges originate externally, while 65% come from internal sources. Changes in atmospheric conditions and an expanding electrical grid have increased the risk of surges.

 

How does surge protection work?

Type 1: Protects against lightning surges, which are extremely high voltage. This type is installed at the start of the electrical system.

 

Type 2: Guards against other internal and external surges (lower voltage than lightning). This protection is typically installed at each fuse board.

 

Type 3: Protects against low voltage spikes and should be positioned

near sensitive devices, such as servers. These can be purchased separately and plugged directly into a wall socket or extension lead.
