Description
If you've ever heard the "10 metre rule" for surge protection, this video explains what it's really about.
When sensitive equipment like fire alarm panels, server racks, communication equipment and monitoring systems are installed a long distance from the consumer unit, the question isn't whether the type 2 SPD is working. The question is whether the equipment itself is adequately protected from transient overvoltages.
In this video, we explore SPD coordination, type 2 and type 3 surge protection devices, BS 7671 Section 534, Regulation 443.4.4, fire alarm systems, circuit protection and why location matters when protecting modern electronics.
