Guys,

Here's an interesting question.  On an
outbuilding, it is normal to keep the neutral and
grounds separate and have them only tied together
back
at the main entrance cable in the house.

If one want's to install one of those main panel
MOV surge protectors in the outbulding, where does
one connect the WHITE (ground) wire to.  It would
seem that one wants it directly to go to ground
rather than the neutral.  Connected to the
neutral, the surge has to go all the way back to
the house to find a ground.  Seems like that would
be nearly useless. 

Anybody have authoritative advice?
