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?

Here is the intrinsic method of eliminating air conditioner motor unloading transients. This stops the process dead in it's tracks. Unfortunately incorporating this topology with soft start might as well be a ten pipe bong opium dream...

LOW VOLTAGE DIRECT CURRENT
Most automotive alternators and all EXPENSIVE automotive chassis 12-volt processors utilize transient voltage suppression in the form of avalanche rectifiers, and discrete component TVS circuitry. Field collapse of an automotive air conditioning magnetic CLUTCH, and starter motor and solenoid field collapse are NOT addressed. Neither is the effects of a GENERATOR starter motor armature and field winding collapse never mind the solenoid. Small 30-ampere rated Bosch type relays often contain a freewheel diode across the relay coil. This is like pis---- on a barn fire. Component failure of such items as TPS, CPS, MAS, are not examined due to possible compromising of potential replacement parts sales.
How many thousands of discrete DC components does a rig have? What is their rated design working voltage? Alternator avalanche rectifiers are rated 28-32 volts. Since they are in a major circuit they do limit total system transient voltage events to.......28 - 32 volts.
My personal ideal is SEVENTEEN POINT ZERO VOLTS clamping. Freewheeling fast response diodes across the AC clutch, starter motor, and solenoid and generator starter motor and solenoid.
But then again my vehicle electronics last virtually forever. Same with microwave, stereo, and monitors. Voltage correction is mandatory for AC circuits but TVS drainage is the magic bullet. For BOTH AC and vehicle battery system circuits.
