devices for surge protection
Hi, If I add a MOV type device in parallel to the shore power cord will it offer some down stream protection to my RV?

Transient Spikes can be thousands of volts and last Milli seconds
Surge can run hundreds of volts and last minutes or longer
The real difference is time , surges last longer than transients
To protect against a spike you short it aka direct it to ground
To protect against a surge , you control the voltage or you disconnect
I think I stated all that correctly
