London, UK — The innovations in electric safety and energy conservation are taking place quickly, and Thor, a new international leader for comprehensive Surge Protective Devices (SPD), is excited for our upcoming time at the ElexShow London 2026 event.
If you are an electrical contractor, tradespeople, electrician or other industry professional, we invite you to come visit us at Alexandra Palace, London, March 26-27, 2026. You will find the Thor staff at Booth F100 displaying our state-of-the-art surge protection products that will help our next generation of electrical infrastructure.
Why ElexShow London 2026 is the Must-Attend Electrical Exhibition
ElexShow is widely regarded as the #1 professional regional trade show in the UK for the entire electrical professional community. In addition to talking to manufacturers about their product line, this event allows electricians to see new products demonstrated in action, earn CPD points and network with some of the biggest manufacturers in the industry.
For Thor, exhibiting at ElexShow London 2026 means much more than simply showing off our line of surge protection devices. We will have an opportunity to connect with professionals who rely on quality tools and equipment to improve the efficiency and safety of their day-to-day work.
As the UK electricity market continues to experience an increase in growth, with an expected compound annual growth rate greater than 7%, driven by governmental support for electrical projects and massive conversion from hydro to renewables, ElexShow is also the best place to talk about where our industry is headed.
The Facts about the Green Transition: New Energy New Risks
The goal of Net Zero is no longer just a target but is becoming an enormous logistical undertaking as to how the UK and Europe supply their infrastructure with power. We are transitioning to a decentralised method of providing energy from what was once provided by centralised power plants. The aim is to have ambitious development milestones in place by 2030.
The transition to renewable energy will be accompanied with a number of technical and logistical hurdles which will not be noticed by many until it’s too late. Modern electrical grids are growing increasingly more sensitive than in the past. Today's renewable energy solutions heavily depend upon utilising very delicate power electronics and inverters as opposed to the heavy “iron and copper” style systems of decades gone by.
Why does this matter?
Decentralised energy such as solar farms and electric vehicle charging stations contribute to creating a “noisier” electrical environment, which creates several challenges for renewable energy system designers/developers and the overall electrical system as a whole. Various forms of renewable energy systems (including EV chargers) will have significantly higher levels of:
Lightning Exposure: Wind and solar sites are almost always located in open, exposed areas and are therefore very literally "magnet-like" for direct and/or indirect lightning strikes.
Switching Transients: The frequent switching on/off of renewable energy sources to and/or from the electrical grid results in a multitude of micro-surges that cumulatively degrade the lifespan of expensive electrical equipment.
Grid Instability: As the traditional electrical grid technology continues to be mixed with the newer green technology, the presence of electrical voltage fluctuations is becoming greater in prevalence.
Without a specialized surge protection strategy, the massive capital invested in green infrastructure is at constant risk. A single lightning strike or a significant grid spike doesn't just cause a "glitch"—it can fry an inverter or take an entire EV charging hub offline, leading to thousands of pounds in repair costs and lost revenue.
What to Expect at Thor's Booth (F100)
Stop by Booth F100 to discover Thor's full line of Surge Protective Devices (SPDs), engineered for today's constantly changing electrical needs. Rather than a “one-size-fits-all” approach, Thor has created a portfolio of differentiated products to address high-value applications.
Visitors will get a hands-on look at our comprehensive solutions, including:
  |
*All models are UK-standard compliant and ready for immediate deployment
AC Power SPDs: Designed to protect commercial electric grids, industrial switchboards, and the rapidly growing EV charging infrastructure. Our range features industrial-grade Nominal (In) and Maximum (Imax) Discharge Currents, paired with industry-leading Voltage Protection Levels (Up) to ensure reliable performance under extreme conditions.
DC Power SPDs (Solar PV): Specifically engineered for solar arrays and inverters. DC SPDs isolate systems from destructive lightning surges and high-voltage transients, providing superior Up ratings tailored to safeguard heavy investments in renewable energy.
Data & Telecom: For mission-critical digital infrastructure, Thor's RJ45 Ethernet and RF Coaxial SPDs maintain continuous uptime through ultra-low insertion loss and near-instant response technology.
LED Lighting: To build long-lasting smart cities, our compact LED SPDs provide a weather-tight shield for both public and commercial street lighting systems, significantly extending their operational life.
Thor provides a complete safety solution for contractors and facility managers who want to protect their future-ready electrical systems with an all-in-one umbrella of AC, DC, and data line protection.
When you visit booth F100 at ElexShow, you will be doing more than just checking out our products; you will have the opportunity to speak directly with our technical experts. Whether you are an electrical distributor looking to stock reliable renewable energy safety products, or a contractor needing assistance in matching the right In and Up parameters for a complex EV charging system, we can provide customized solutions tailored exactly to your business needs.
