Concerning the MOV. The advice you have been given by Wayne is accurate. The MOV is designed to clip spikes or peaks in voltage, not act as a failsafe regulator. Rather than build on supposition, I set up a test using a MOV.

Prof95,

Thanks much for actually testing this and sharing your "time and work" with us as always.

Would units like a flat screen or computer on the output of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) be safe from an overvoltage that the MOV does not protect against? Or would the UPS fail and just carry the overvoltage to the units?

Thanks,
