Surge Protection Devices FAQs

What can cause power surges?
Power surges are often caused by external events like lightning strikes, power grid issues or even just from tree branches touching power lines. However, they can also be caused by internal events like faulty wiring, large, high-powered appliances and overloaded circuits.

Are surge protection devices the same as residual current devices?
No, surge protection devices (SPDs) protect equipment from damaging voltage surges whereas residual current devices (RCDs) protect people from electrical shock by disconnecting the circuit when they detect an imbalance of current flow.

Are surge protection devices mandatory?
Yes, under the 18th Edition Wiring Regulations in the UK, surge protection devices are mandatory for most new installations, including homes, unless a documented risk assessment proves they are not needed.

They are particularly important to have installed for environments where if a safety service fails, like a hardwired smoke alarm or emergency lighting, there could be a risk of injury or death.
