Product Description

Surge Protection Device - F-Type, 5-Way, 1P20 Rated

Our coaxial F-Type SPD shields your aerial system's devices from power surges. Equipment such as TVs, amplifiers, and receiver boxes would benefit from having this line of defence.

What is a Surge Protection Device (SPD)?

Surge Protective Devices (SPD) are used to protect installations from electrical power surges known as “transient overvoltages”.

They are also used to protect sensitive electronic equipment connected to the installation, such as computers, televisions. Any equipment with sensitive electronic circuitry can be vulnerable to damage by transient overvoltages.

The effects of a surge can result in either instant failure or damage to the equipment only evident over a longer period of time. It is important to remember that protecting the electrical installation alone, and not the other services, could leave another route for transient voltages to enter the installation.

There are three different types of Surge Protective Devices:

Type 1 SPD: installed at the origin, e.g. main distribution board.

Type 2 SPD: installed at sub-level.

Type 3 SPD: installed close to the protected load. They must only be installed as a supplement to Type 2 SPD.

The PROception range of SPDs are all Type 2.

What causes transient overvoltages?

Natural transient overvoltages mostly occur due to direct lightning strikes but can also occur from indirect strikes too.

Man-made transients appear due to the switching of motors and transformers, along with some types of lighting. Historically this has not been an issue within domestic installations but more recently, installations are changing with the advent of electric vehicle charging, heat pumps have made transients much more likely to occur within domestic installations.

How do SPDs work?

The gas discharge tube (GDT) is sealed with ceramic and its interior consists of two or more metal electrodes with gaps filled with the inert gases, argon and neon. As the overvoltage passes through, it arcs between the electrodes, allowing current to flow to ground, thus protecting your devices.

I researched for many TV aerials and my friend who was ex aerial rigger recommended me Blake aerials as you can’t go wrong with them that was his words and it was true

Excellent Aerial really pulls in very weak signals with help with correct masthead amplifier

Came across Blake through a google search for a decent DAB/FM aerial. Good reviews, decent website. I purchased one, it arrived quickly and with the decent instructions, I got it installed and it's working great. All good. Would use again, recommended.

Ive moved into a new build property and wanted to fit a TV aerial in my loft. After searching the net looking for advice on aerials I found Blake’s website. I put in my postcode and not only told what aerial I needed it also told me the transmitter I need to aim at. Prices were very reasonable and delivery was very quick. Was kept very well informed on my orders progress. Very impressed. Would definitely recommend to anyone 👍🏻

I used the online customer support system used by Blake UK for advice regarding my intended installation and got very quick and helpful advice on what would suit me best….this was honest advice as I was thinking of purchasing more expensive items that would be unnecessary and also possibly even detrimental to my intended installation. My order was received very quickly and although there had been a small mistake regarding the length of cable I had ordered this was immediately rectified by Blake UK again using their online messaging system. Personally I cannot fault Blake UK and would be very happy to recommend them to anyone, a very helpful and professional business, thank you.
