Sit back, plug in (figuratively), and let’s break it down

What Are Surge Protection Devices, and Why Do They Matter?

If you’ve ever watched lightning strike in the movies and thought, “Well, that’s cinematic,” imagine that hitting your client’s consumer unit. Not quite as Hollywood when you’re dealing with fried electronics and insurance claims, right?

LET’S GET NERDY!

Surge protection devices (SPDs) are designed to limit transient overvoltages—basically, electrical spikes caused by things like lightning, switching, or even the local power station sneezing. These spikes can destroy equipment, corrupt data, and reduce the lifespan of anything with a plug.

That’s where we step in—with knowledge, gear, and top-tier advice.

Webinars with real-world examples and Q&A
On-demand technical resources for night owls and early birds

Here’s a little taste:

• Type 1 SPDs – for protecting against direct lightning strikes (usually at the building’s main incomer)
• Type 2 SPDs – for downstream protection in distribution boards
• Type 3 SPDs – ideal for sensitive end equipment
• Combined Type 1+2 and Type 2+3 devices – save space, time, and headaches
• Plug-in protectors – ideal for consumer and commercial setups
• SPD testers and monitoring systems – because checking your protection is just smart

Every product is compliant, reliable, and built to perform, whether you’re working on a domestic install, industrial unit, or commercial development.

But I’m Already Qualified! Why Bother with CPD?

First of all, congrats on being qualified. You’re already ahead of many. But here’s the kicker:

CPD isn’t about being qualified—it’s about staying qualified.

Electrical standards, building codes, and best practices change regularly. Plus, you can bet your competitors are doing CPD. Staying ahead isn’t just about keeping up—it’s about being the expert your clients trust with their safety (and their expensive tech).And let’s not forget the perks: CPD makes your business look more professional, keeps your skills sharp, and opens doors to higher-value contracts and specialisms like renewable energy integration and EV infrastructure—both of which require advanced surge protection knowledge.
