Excellent Meanwell surge protector
Added 2023-08-24 13:13:05 +0000 UTCNormally it's hard to get excited about a surge protection device, but this one by Meanwell (really big player in professional power supplies) was an absolute treat to explore.
It's very well made and much more rugged than the more common units.
It might actually be worth considering the use of one for home or workshop transient protection.

"Max surge current: 20kA" Yup, that's some serious gear alright. Very interesting!

2023-08-26 02:09:31 +0000 UTCAs the schematic suggests, there is no Gas Discharge Tube (GDT). Is this because it's Type 2? Or because it's for lighting? Distribution board style units have a MOV L-N and a GDT N-E. I assume this is to try to keep Earth out of it unless there's an actual transient.
