Do the Panamax products use MOVs?

If they do are there any concerns about it?

There have been discussions within this forum about MOVs being less than desireable.

Panamax does use MOV's, so (as with any MOV-based unit) there is a finite number of events it can filter before it gradually becomes ineffectual. I've had mine since early 2002, and I figure I'll replace it (possibly with a Brick Wall unit, which does not use MOV's) in the next year or so, or at least move the most valuable hardware to something else.

Any thoughts welcome on this one . Having an inductor ran in series could possibly choke large components such as amps and subs which require large amounts of power to recharge their caps . Any truth to this ? This is an argument made by Pnamax which I found in their manual for the 5300 . I believe the Brick Wall uses such an in line inductor coil . I am not so sure I can swallow this one from Panamax as their seems to be enough headroom for a large influx of power before the Brick Wall units respond . Could somone clear this up a bit ? Thanks .

I think the Series Mode technology companies like Brick Wall , SurgeX , and Adcom (there are probably others now) are the only ones worth considering.

you use the 5100 for your 750 and two m200s and i assume you have a powered sub...
the 5100 only has 2 high current outlets wich they say to use for amps.
do you use the two high power outlets for the front 200s and the 750 on one of the other 2 banks and maybe use another surge protector for the sub? just courious how you have the 5100 set up.

I have a simple power strip (no surge protection) plugged in to one high current outlet to feed the three amps. I've had the sub on a regular outlet for a long time, but come to think of it I may move it to the other high current and change it from auto-sense to always on.
