> load dumps

I think that you need to look at some surplus place for long line MOVs.
They are used for telephone lines and such. I have never used one but I
know you can get them in coffee mug size with stud terminals. That should
stop a load dump at least for a while. They are meant to prevent excessive
voltage from appearing at expensive equipment in phone switches I think.
