Surge Protection Sydney

Power surges from storms, network switching and nearby faults can destroy sensitive electronics in an instant. Sydney Power Group (SPG) installs surge protection devices (SPDs) at the switchboard to divert dangerous voltage spikes safely to earth before they reach your appliances, computers and home entertainment gear.

SPG is a Level 2 ASP electrician authorised across Ausgrid, Endeavour Energy and Essential Energy, which means we can install board-level surge protection and handle any associated main switch, mains or metering work that requires Level 2 accreditation.

Type 1 And Type 2 SPDs

Type 1 SPDs are designed to handle high-energy surges such as those associated with direct or nearby lightning activity and are typically installed at the main switchboard where a building has significant exposure. Type 2 SPDs handle residual and switching surges and are the common choice for protecting distribution boards in homes and businesses.

We assess your property, exposure and equipment, then specify the right SPD type and coordination for effective protection.

Board-Level Protection Done Right

Plug-in surge boards only protect what is plugged into them; a properly installed SPD at the switchboard protects every circuit in the building. We install SPDs on DIN rail with the correct backup protection and clear labelling, integrated into your existing board or a new one during a switchboard upgrade.

For three-phase premises we coordinate surge protection across all phases on your three-phase switchboard.

Guard Your Electronics

SPG installs surge protection across Greater Sydney and NSW, and as a Level 2 ASP on all three networks we can combine it with supply or metering work in one visit. It is smart insurance for anyone with valuable or essential electronics.
