⚡ A burnt MOV doesn't lie. The test results did the talking.
A customer came to us asking for a lower price on SPDs.
Fair enough — we hear this often.
But before we quote, we test.
We asked the customer to send us samples from their current supplier.
What we found shocked even us.
🔬 The MOV chips inside?
Actual tested discharge capacity: just 5kA.
The supplier's claimed rating: 40kA.
That's not a rounding error.
That's a product that looks like protection — but offers almost none.
A single lightning strike on an undersized MOV doesn't just fail quietly.
It burns. It melts. And it can take your entire system with it.
The damage to equipment and operations? Immeasurable.
Here's where we draw the line:
We will never cut corners to match an unrealistic price.
We will never put a 40kA label on a 5kA product.
That's not who Thor is.
Every MOV we use delivers:
✔ High, verified energy absorption
✔ Stable performance across its service life
✔ Low leakage current — the true health marker of a quality MOV
✔ Specs you can test. Numbers you can trust.
If you're buying on price alone, you're not buying protection.
You're buying risk.
