490 V Clamping Volt On MOV Surge Protector: Seems Very High; Is It ?

Aug 10, 2005 0 Replies

Hello,



Thinking of installing an Intermatic AG series surge protector across a single 110 V line to help protect a circuiit board in a furnace. This would be a modelAG2401



Clamping voltage is given as 490 V.



Seems awfully high.



Wouldn't most solid state devices such as PC circuit boards uprocessors, etc. blow (well) before this level ?



Know of any similar point of service wired in units with a lower clamping volt. ?



As always, much thanks for help and info; really appreciate it, B.
