[QUOTE="brummydave, post: 502902, member: 18490"] Install does often come down to manufacturer instructions really but I share your frustration when wanting to plan an install before buying anything and not being able to get said instructions! I've never seen or used an over/under voltage relay so can't comment on its best installation location or purpose. Surge devices often need their own MCB but some don't if they have a built in fuse. Surge protection in the UK should have as short a live supply and earth connection as possible. Next to main switch and main earth terminal are good. [URL="http://www.surgedevices.co.uk"]Surge devices[/URL] have lots of general info on this. Try giving them a call! Also, different terminology like 'elcb' or 'rccb', 'utility meter' or 'main supply' is only a distraction from what you're trying to achieve. 🤔 [/QUOTE]
