Are surge-protection extension leads necessary?

Question

If my electrics and consumer unit are up to date, do I still need surge-protection on an extension lead?

John · Answer

They'll protect all your expensive electrical items,  from any spikes, that can damage the smaller electronics.
New fuseboards are now fitted with surge protection,  with the additional type A rcbos.

Inuse them.for extra protection especially pc and tvs etc. If you have a power cut they help in.matter of surges

Simon · Answer

You don't need surge protection if your fuse board is up to date and has built in surge protection. If it doesn't, surge protection on an extension lead will protect electronic items such as computers , TVs etc so better to have than not.

Gary · Answer

Not all "up to date" supplies are surge protected, no problem if they are but the cost of a surge protected extension lead is minimal to protect sensitive electronics

Hi If you are having battery storage with your solar panels then you would need a hybrid inverter.
