Why do Surge Protection Devices no longer require an MCB?

Over the last five years, surge protection has become a standard requirement in most electrical installations - but there’s still plenty of confusion around why some devices take up multiple module spaces and need an MCB in-line. In this video, we take a closer look at Lewden’s latest innovation: a compact, single-module SPD that connects directly to the busbar without needing an MCB. That means more space in your consumer unit for essential circuits - yes, even that Jacuzzi bath you’ve always dreamed of! We explain how SPDs work, why traditional devices often require an MCB, and how Lewden’s clever design includes built-in fault protection using a simple but effective solder release mechanism. You’ll also get a sneak peek at new additions to Lewden’s consumer unit range for 2025, including: ⚡ Surface-mounted patress ⚡ Upgraded accessory pack ⚡ Optional locking lid ⚡ Black finish variants ⚡ Bi-directional RCBOs for Solar PV installs Whether you're working on residential upgrades or solar-ready installs, Lewden’s range has you covered.
