I recently received an e-mail from a colleague on the east coast
stating that UL has joined TUV Rheinland in NOT accepting the use
of MOV's in primary circuitry.
The reasoning behind this is due to the unpredictable dielectric
break down of these components which can increase leakage current
beyond acceptable levels.
Has anyone heard any truth to these statements ?
If so, what other methods are being used to solve problems
without these devices?
