Even the protection voltage also wrong.

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.
