Advanced X3 MOV Hardware
Most Minuteman surge protectors feature Advanced X3 MOV (metal oxide varistor) technology. The X3 MOV offers significantly higher heat dissipation and surge energy capacity than traditional round-type MOV hardware, virtually eliminating the risk of fire during over-voltage situations.
All MOV hardware is not created equal.
The Advanced X3 MOV surge protection hardware utilized in most Minuteman surge protection devices provides added protection against fire danger by:
- Offering more surge capacity (Joules) than regular MOVs
- Providing better and faster heat dissipation during a surge
See which Minuteman products include Advanced X3 MOV protection on the specifications page.

What is a surge protector and why would I need one?
A surge protector is a device designed to protect electronic devices from sudden voltage spikes or surges. You would need one to safeguard your valuable electronics from potential damage caused by power surges.
What are the main reasons for using a surge protector?
- Protection against Lightning Strikes: Lightning strikes can cause massive power surges that can damage or destroy electronic devices. A surge protector can absorb and redirect this excess voltage away from your devices, keeping them safe.
- Shielding against Power Fluctuations: Power fluctuations, such as sudden increases or decreases in voltage, can harm your electronic equipment. A surge protector regulates the voltage supply and prevents these fluctuations from reaching your devices.
- Preventing Electrical Fires: In the event of a power surge, devices like power strips or extension cords can overheat and potentially cause electrical fires. A surge protector with overload protection mitigates this risk by cutting off power when the surge exceeds a safe level.
- Extending Device Lifespan: By shielding devices from sudden voltage spikes, a surge protector helps extend the lifespan of your electronics. It ensures that they operate within their recommended voltage range, reducing wear and tear.
- Cost-Effective Protection: Compared to replacing expensive electronics damaged by power surges, surge protectors are a cost-effective investment. They provide robust protection for multiple devices, saving you money in the long run.
Can a surge protect my sensitive electronic devices, like computers and TVs?
Absolutely! Surge protectors are designed to safeguard all types of sensitive electronic devices. They are commonly used to protect computers, laptops, TVs, gaming consoles, audio equipment, and other valuable electronics.
How does a surge protector work?
A surge protector contains a metal oxide varistor (MOV) that detects and absorbs excess voltage when a power surge occurs. When voltage spikes above a safe threshold, the MOV diverts the excess current to the ground, protecting your devices.
Do surge protectors need to be replaced after a power surge?
Yes, some surge protectors have built-in indicators that show if they are still providing protection after a power surge. If the indicator shows the surge protector is no longer functional, it should be replaced to ensure continued protection for your devices. Even if there are no visible signs of damage, it’s a good practice to replace your surge protector periodically, as they have a finite lifespan and can wear out over time.
