What makes u consider surge arrestors at the first place? If your lights dim while your neighbours wash their car it's better to check grounding instead  stick LN LE NE |

QUOTE(waterjunk @ Aug 13 2018, 07:46 PM) The MOV is being installed across Line and Neutral which is correct. Since this is a single phase socket array, all the 3 (Line Neutral and Ground) are shorted together via the copper busbar. Therefore the potential differences between the sockets should be negligible. More expensive surge arrestors will have MOV across line-line, line-neutral, neutral-ground and line-ground. Obviously this Mr DIY is just a extra precaution instead of full protection~ better than nothing i suppose haha This. |

in malaysia, our official voltage is
230V single phase, variation -6% +10%
meaning from 216 to 253
most appliance can withstand +/- 10% of 230, meaning 207 to 253
thus the need of mov at 275V
if you use a 400V mov... slightly higher voltage (non lightning) will burn your everything connected. equivalent to dont install.
btw, you must have a fuse to disconnect the MOV once it got hit by lightning. else will bbq your house.

Sirim sticker is not guarantee a product (as a whole) is safe for use. For example, 3-core extension wire, roll type. The sticker is on the 3-pin plug receptacle and it is for certify the receptacle only. The body, wire and other components are not covered by the sticker. But when people buy it they thought the whole thing is certified safe.
