Hi Almot,
I think Mex is talking about the Hughes, which does have end user replaceable MOV's.
The Sola Basic is just that. i.e. BASIC. It is intended for running small appliances under 4000 VA and pretty much from what I saw would need to be hard wired. There is no attempt at surge suppression other than bucking the voltage--which really isn't a surge situation.

It is chicanery to install a few MOVs in a voltage correction autoformers and gloat about complete protection. MOVs wear out. To extend life, a lot more MOVS must be installed
Are you saying that it won't be long before Don Piano will start replacing MOVs? :)
