LEWDEN continues to push boundaries in electrical protection and board design with its new range of Single Module SPD Consumer Units. Designed for maximum efficiency without sacrificing performance, these boards represent a significant evolution in compact, compliant distribution.
With their integrated single module Surge Protection Device (SPD), these boards save valuable internal space while simplifying installation, and crucially, they require no additional 32A MCB. This innovative integration not only ensures BS 7671 compliance but also frees up an extra usable outgoing way in the board, delivering greater flexibility for the installer and end user alike.
The Range at a Glance
This new LEWDEN line includes a selection of sizes to suit a variety of applications, from small domestic installations to larger, circuit-heavy setups:
PRO-R06W-R1S – 6-way
PRO-R08W-R1S – 8-way
PRO-R10W-R1S – 10-way
PRO-R14W-R1S – 14-way
PRO-R19W-R1S – 19-way
For those looking to make a visual statement, LEWDEN also offers two stylish black-finish consumer units, perfect for visible installations or premium environments:
PRO-R10B-R1S – 10-way, black
PRO-R19B-R1S – 19-way, black
All models benefit from the same core innovation: a fully integrated Type 2 SPD in a single DIN module, pre-wired and protected without the need for a separate overcurrent protective device (OCPD). This means no 32A MCB is required – a key difference from many other SPD board designs on the market.
One Module, One Major Advantage
The shift to a single-module SPD system has a real-world benefit that installers will immediately appreciate: it frees up an entire way in the board. That’s an extra outgoing circuit that can be used for future expansion or complex configurations, without the need to upgrade to a larger enclosure.
This added space is particularly valuable in installations where every circuit counts, such as EV charger provisions, smart home systems, or renewable energy inputs. LEWDEN’s design gives electricians more flexibility while maintaining the high safety standards demanded by today’s electrical regulations.
Built to Perform, Built to Last
Like the rest of LEWDEN’s PRO range, these boards are engineered with a robust metal construction and a clean, installer-friendly layout. Features include:
- Generously spaced neutral and earth terminals
- Multiple rear and side knockouts for flexible cable routing
- Pre-fitted DIN rails and earth/neutral bars
- Supplied with SPD status indicator and removable terminal covers
- Sleek, professional appearance – especially in the PRO-R10B-R1S and PRO-R19B-R1S black-finish models
Whether in domestic or light commercial settings, these units provide a blend of practicality and style, with pre-installed surge protection that meets current standards while also simplifying single-phase installation logistics.
Future-Ready, Installer-Focused
As demands on consumer units grow, with smart tech, renewables, and additional circuits now the norm, the importance of space-saving innovations like LEWDEN’s single module SPD cannot be overstated.
By eliminating the need for a separate 32A MCB, LEWDEN not only reduces clutter inside the board but also makes it easier to comply with regulations while leaving room for future expansion. It’s a forward-thinking solution that puts the needs of electricians, specifiers, and end-users first.
