Recently, uncle bought one cheap surge protector powerstrip from MR DIY store at RM24 something? dry.gif

But, to uncle dismay, the MOV is installed at wrong place. As the result, only one socket is protected from possible surge while the other three are not.

Aside from the wrong MOV placement in the powerstrip, the MOV itself is fine for its intended purpose.
How in the world this thing qualify as surge protector when it only protect one socket out of four sockets? sweat.gif
