Surge protection

[Edward Camilleri]

Hi I'm doing an new installation at my new house and I never installed a Surge protection before. I read that they need a 32 Amp MCB . I would like to know why 32 Amp and if it's compulsory. I also read that there are some with integrated MCB.

Where are you reading this from?

RCD's perhaps? 

SPD's aren't required in a domestic situation.

Guys, 

Ed is a new member living in Malta, do our regs have any bearing there? and welcome Ed.

Good obs Zee, even so Malta is I believe in the EU and apparently I’m told our regs are aligned with the EU so this leads me to conclude that it may bear some relevance only if what I’m told is true?????
