That's absurd - practically everything uses MOVs, including the products you just linked! See their marketing papers: http://www.furmansound.com/pdf/pdfdata/furman_mov_facts.pdf http://www.furmansound.com/pdf/pdfdata/FurmanSMPPlusWhitePaper.pdf Yes, they _additionally_ include a series element to dissipate the surge, but so does any TVSS installation to some degree (the wire feeding it is an inductor, if nothing else). Just because they use the same shunting principle doesn't mean all TVSS devices are equivalent to a $3 surge protector. Series protection will protect you from sustained overvoltages, but for lightning you need a high speed clamping element and MOVs are what the whole world uses. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73008 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
