Does anyone have any recommedations for Surge Protection Devices
which are suitable for use where they can't be fitted in a modern

How useful are SPDs where all the local wiring is under ground, but
some of the 11KV upstream of the local transformer is overhead?

I was surprised to discover that they are fitted in parallel with a
consumer rather before and in series.



It does seem strange, safety wise, that what looks like a big red
isolation switch may not actually isolate the consumer unit.

Then don't label it up as the CU isolator.


Do you fit them?
