Mona, you should try FCC Part 15, under the definition of the applicability of the Classes A and B. In the FCC regulations, it is simply stated that it can be assumed that and FCC Class A compliant component when placed into a Class B product or system, will derate the whole system to Class A.

Don, MOVS have a lot of Capacitance associated with them. Sometimes you can make use of that, in your case you may want to try back to back Diodes in series with the MOV. They have lower capacitance, hence capacitors in series have even lower capacitance. A spark gap will work fine as long as you

IEC 1000-4-5 is written with DC supplies in mind. In fact, generic and product standards in the EU require testing DC supply lines using IEC 1000-4-4 and 1000-4-5. Most surge simulators designed for surging AC lines can also be used for surging DC lines (some require an option to work on DC lines;
