The new Wiring Regulations have introduced changes that focus on surge protection to help improve safety in our homes and commercial premises. 

 

An electrical surge, or ‘transient overvoltage’, is a brief voltage peak between two or more conductors. A surge can be just a few volts or thousands of volts. 

We’ve recently had some challenges to find and fix faults in commercial electrical installations. 

 

Electrical systems are often complicated and tailored to a business’s needs. 

 

If you’re not the electrician who did the original installation, it can be quite difficult to track down the root cause of a problem.
