With increased adaptation to advanced technology, electrical safety has become far more crucial in today's homes. From smart appliances to home automation and sensitive electronic devices, everything depends on a stable and safe electrical supply. It is where the role of an SPD Consumer Unit comes into play. The SPD Consumer Unit is designed to protect your home's electrical system against sudden voltage spikes, hence offering enhanced protection, reliability, and long-term durability for all the connected devices.
Integrated Surge Protection
The Surge Protective Device Consumer Unit comes with integrated surge protection and is a developed version of the conventional consumer unit. Voltage surges can be caused by lightning strikes, power surges, switching within the grid, or even faulty wiring. Voltage increases in electrical current have the potential to destroy appliances, reduce their lifespans, and even lead to fire hazards. An SPD Consumer Unit diverts excess voltage safely to ground, preventing it from flowing through your household circuits.
Protection to Expensive Electronic Devices
Another significant benefit of installing an SPD Consumer Unit is protection for expensive electronic devices. Today, homes rely on devices such as smart TVs, laptops, gaming consoles, feature-rich refrigerators and washing machines, as well as sensitive HVAC systems. All these appliances are highly vulnerable to electrical surges. You'll get surge protection right inside the consumer unit for added safety, which is not possible with internal appliance protectors.
