Subject: MOV transient protectors

To use MOVs, you need three of them.  Inside your outlet box, connect
one from green to white, one from black to white, and one from black
to green.  There is good reason why a single set of MOVs won't protect
a whole house - wires don't have zero resistance to DC, and their
impedance to AC is often rather surprising.  Spikes at one point in
the house may or may not exist elsewhere.

Cheers,
Dick Binder
