It means nothing. Shunt mode surge protectors (MOVs) at branch outlets can cause more problems than they solve. The only safe place for an MOV is as part of a whole house protector, properly installed at the service entrance. If you want to use a protector on a branch circuit, it should be a Series Mode unit. See www.surgex.com and www.brickwall.com for Series Mode surge protectors. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
