Hello All,

Have heard from some sources that surge-suppressors (Varistors, MOVs,
Tranzorbs, etc) are not allowed between Line to Ground, in EN 60950
products, except perhaps for permanently mounted, wired-in equipment.  The
concern seems to be that of increased leakage-current over time. 

Looking for authoritive substantiation (citations - please) for allowance
or disallowance of surge-surpressors from Line to Ground under European
compliance considerations.   

And, if you know of any  surge-suppressors which bear European "approvals"
for this application (line-ground), I'd appreciate that info too.

ThanX, Art Michael
