What is an SPD?⚡
An SPD (Surge Protection Device) is designed to protect your electrical equipment from sudden spikes in voltage.
These spikes can damage sensitive equipment, so an SPD helps keep everything safe and running smoothly.
It is recommended to have an SPD fitted when installing an EV charger to help protect both the charger and the vehicle. 🔒🚗
Regulations🏛️
The wiring regulations state that an SPD must be fitted if there is a risk of serious injury or significant financial loss due to a surge.
