Re: i cannot understand how most surge strips can be safe. p
Awwt most microwave ovens some TV's and even a few stereo receivers have a mov in them but the manufacture places them before the fuse this way they will know if the damage to the appliance was done by ether a lost neutral or someone miss-wiring it to 220v when it called for 120 volts. this way they can refuse a warranty claim.
