I am planning on adding a set of MOVs to the AC line of a recently acquired Alpha 86 amplifier. I have reviewed Littlefuse's MOV Applications Guide but I am still a bit unclear as to the optimum clam

Paul, The two to ground would be the correct installation. 140V should be very adequate I would think. Keep them up off the chassis because sometimes they blow BLACK and SOOTY. If you notice in many

Just had a thought on this subject - there are 'whole' house ac line surge protectors - industrial type - that are intended to be connected directly on the side of the the house breaker box. One sour

Good thought, good solution, Bob. I installed a Waber Power Master unit on my service entrance panel when I built the ham shack several years ago. This protects everything, and saves having to put M

Bob & Bob, Good suggestions. I plan on adding a "whole house" TVSS or MOV unit in the near future. There's a lot of product out there. One personal reply I received from someone in the surge suppress

MOV's should never tie to the safety ground lead or any ground lead outside of an entrance panel. They can have very large fault currents and, if sized to close to the power line voltage, can go into

That makes a lot of sense. Some of the sources I've read recently advocate not using ground as a MOV reference for that very reason. High current surges may follow other grounding paths (coaxial cab
