Parallel MOVs and Sharing
How multi-MOV designs increase surge capacity.

Current sharing
Parallel MOV stacks share surge current when matched and arranged carefully.
Design quality

Field tip
Never parallel random SPD brands/models hoping for higher rating—use a listed higher-capacity device instead.
