Selection of Mains SPDs to BS 7671:2018

Find what you need to comply with 18th Edition Wiring Regulations quickly and easily . . .

What you need to know . . .

No tricky questions! All we will ask you is . . .

  • Does the building have structural lightning protection?
  • What is the Earthing System? (If you don’t know, CLICK HERE)
  • Are the MDB and SDB single or three phase?
  • Cable length (between MDB and SDB)

You will only be asked two simple questions about how incoming power is provided and whether appliances are fed outside the building.

It couldn’t be easier!
