Wow, aren't you something special and quite arrogant.... you are quite
an engineer alright and we are all impressed !

Brad:
Most MOVs in consumer grade surge protectors clamp at 140 to 160
volts.... and the better surge protectors will have 3 such MOVs that
protect Hot to Neutral, Neutral to Ground, and Hot to Ground. ....
and some of the better ones have MOVs with high enough ratings and
fused in such a way that the MOVs will self destruct and/or the fuse
will blow in an effort to "protect" the circuit.
If better protection is required then a UPS with the proper rating will
offer almost fool-proof protection.
