when i put in my generator transfer switch , i decided to put in a "whole 
house" protector...before installing the nice looking, metal cased 
INTERMATIC device,
i opened it up....

looks like every other decent  MOV protection device... but buried in some 
sand-like material to squelch the flames , when the MOVs go byebye....

we all need to remember that MOVs wear out..with surges..and when do we 
know they are no longer providing protection ?????

since the MOV devices are across all lines & ground; anything connected 
will be
on the protected line.
