I have mains powered smoke alarms throughout my house and have an 18th edition consumer unit including individual RCBO's. My question is, as there is no addition ways to add a SPD, I have purchased a mains double pole mains isolator with a type 2 SPD included, will this suffice to cover AMD2 requirements for SPD on safety circuits as long as requirements for length of live/earth cable is met?Yes, SPDs monitor the supply cables for high transient voltages in parallel.
