7. Varistor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varistor

   Plug assembly with surge protector circuitry. A typical surge protector power strip is built using MOVs. Low-cost versions may use only one varistor, from the hot (live, active) to the neutral conductor. A better protector contains at least three varistors; one across each of the three pairs of conductors.
