- That's great info, Jerry. So, if I understand the design correctly, if one of the two wires in a pair is accidentally disconnected, and it happens to be the return current line, the chip will burn it

- I had an intermittent in one of the connectors on my MonstIR and it got disconnected many times without damage (the MonstIR worked fine once I fixed the intermittent). I don't know whether it was the

- When my lightning disaster occurred, I was using K5FD suppressor boards, which have two MOVs per line plus a 5A inline fuse. Each wire in the control cable was connected to a suppressor board at both

- Dick - Your scenario sounds plausible to me. From the standpoint of MOVs. You have 82 v MOVs at the base of the tower and at the shack on a good ground. Fine. Your tower takes a hit and a portion of

- I though that MOVs degrade with each protection event and that their breakdown voltage decreases. Is a 45v MOV appropriate for a 33v system? John KK9A When my lightning disaster occurred, I was using

- This is probably a situation where zener diode clamps would be better than MOVs. MOVs are cheap (why they use them in $4 plug strips), but in an application with something driving an inductor (e.g. a

- More that the leakage current increases. Imagine a whole bunch of little tiny MOVs in parallel. When you get an event, the lowest voltage MOV turns on, and slightly dies in the process, becoming a hi
