Does the SPD need to be replaced after every surge?

The Type 2 SPD is designed to handle multiple surges, but if it takes a significant hit, the indicator will change to red, signifying that the module needs replacement.

What is the maximum current rating?

Is this suitable for commercial use?

It is designed for residential or light commercial installations where standard circuit protection requirements apply.

What does the 11-way designation mean?

It means the unit has the capacity to hold 11 individual MCB or RCBO devices, allowing you to manage up to 11 separate electrical circuits.

Troubleshooting

SPD status indicator is red

The SPD cartridge has reached its limit and requires replacement to maintain surge protection.

Intermittent power loss to circuits

Check all terminal connections inside the unit to ensure they are torqued correctly and free of debris.

  • Durable metal construction meets safety standards
  • Ample 11-way capacity for standard home installations
  • High-quality 100A main switch for reliable isolation
  • Compact and clean aesthetic

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with current IET Wiring Regulations. Before mounting, ensure the wall surface is level and capable of supporting the weight of the metal enclosure. When terminating cables, ensure all connections are tight and that no copper strands are loose. For maintenance, a periodic visual inspection should be performed to check the status indicator on the Type 2 SPD unit; if the indicator changes color from green to red, the SPD cartridge has reached the end of its life and must be replaced. Keep the enclosure free from dust and moisture to prevent corrosion.
