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?

Westom,
Actually the surge device I added to the Sola is not in the RV. Also the particular device is CSA and UL approved. 2400 joules and 40,000 amps. The device is exterior to the Sola.
Your post caused me to think about what a Mov does. It doesn't stop the surge, it diverts it.
I can say the previous device lasted for 3 years but when I checked it this spring it had failed, so I've had some (minor) surges.
20,000 amps would be from a lightening strike? Or?
