What is best is a single-point surge suppressor, then non-surged power strips. Places like
Allied, Newark and Grainger have pages of them.
In a nutshell: think of parallel resistors. If you parallel a buch of resistors, you don't have
the same value as 1, and evey additional lowers the overall.
When you place MOVs in parallel, something similar happens. Except the MOVs are not linear
devices.
