#107574 - Connect a fuse..
Responding to: ???'s previous message

Then, connect a varistor across phase and neutral on the load side.

I think you should also connect a fuse or a disconnect device, since the MOVs failure mode is a "short" most of the time.

Another negative aspect of the MOVs are the wear out mechanism, they are supposed to wear out as they absorb each spike and then ultimately fail.

Transzorbs do not have these properties.

John.
