The MOVs will be at the output of the arc welder, before the inductor, to p=
rotect the welder's output rectifier. I plan to use three paralleled 20mm 3=
60V MOVs(20D361K). By my cocktail napkin calculations, they should have no =
problem with the energy that they receive. It should not be a regularly occ=
uring phenomena, I'm just naturally careful. I don't know what the welder u=
ses for output rectifiers. They are fast recovery, not Schottky, but I don'=
t know the voltage rating. I'm assuming they are at least 400V.
Friendly regards, Bob

I wouldn't put movs on it due to the energy levels and but gas discharge tu=
bes would be nice. and hopefully could handle the load.
