Hager Type 1+2 Consumer Unit Surge Protection Kit VME01SPD

Hager VME01SPD: Type 1+2 Consumer Unit Surge Protection Kit combining high-capacity varistors with an N-PE spark gap for whole-board protection.

Safety & Reliability

The kit pairs high-capacity voltage-limiting varistors with an N-PE spark gap, giving the consumer unit combined Type 1 and Type 2 surge protection in a single module. This means transient overvoltages from both direct lightning strikes and switching surges are dealt with without needing separate devices.

No secondary back-up protection is required, which simplifies the installation and removes an extra component from the board. For contractors, that means less time speccing additional fuses or breakers just to protect the SPD itself.

Installation & Compliance

The unit is suitable for CT2 connection as set out in Regulation 534.4.3.2 of BS7671 18th Edition, so it drops straight into compliant consumer unit designs without redesigning the circuit protection scheme. This is particularly relevant when fitting Hager distribution board layouts where surge protection is now a standard requirement on new and rewired installations.

As part of Hager Ltd's electrical protection range, the kit is built to work alongside other Hager Limited consumer unit components, keeping the installation consistent from a single manufacturer.

Maintenance & Fast Replacement

Pluggable surge protection modules mean a faulty or end-of-life cartridge can be swapped out without disturbing the wiring or isolating the whole board for longer than necessary. This cuts callback time and keeps downtime to a minimum on occupied installations.
