Surge arrestors

[Dylboy]

Another question if I may:

They say the Type 1 must be installed at the main switch which I think would be near the MP by the supplier connection.

How ever that is not always possible in those spider boxes.

Can the Type 1 be installed with the Type 2 next to each other in the main DB of the house?

I know there is a combined 1 and 2 but those are extremely expensive.

If you install a T2 surge arrestor in a domestic property, do you connect it directly after the main switch, using a 16 mm wire and no fuse or,

do you install a 32 amp mcb and wire it with 4 mm wire?

You can mount the 2 next to each other , type 1 first
It is best to use a combination type when installing together.
