"a relatively low-priced and widely available safety item"

low priced??

And isn't there a bit of a fire risk having something that goes
pftttt in a consumer unit? In the top photo it's wired across the
main switch and not even fused down



like many (most?) such it comes built in fuses so needs no additional
overcurrent protection.


ahem...except on (still not sober) reflection & checking that seems to
be one that does require external overcurrent protection


Type 1 and 2 SPDs are fitted at the origin and need no further
overcurrent protection.

Although BG do seem to have a typo right at the bottom (in the safety
warning)
