Hmmm... Our backbone host at Kurchatov Institute of Atomic
Energy has a funny surge protector - so called "motor-generator".
This device includes synchronous AC motor paired with dinamo-machine
producing AC of the same voltage. Protection is absolute.
(Another interesting feature of our power supply at KIAE is that
the secondary power supply goes directly from atomic generator -
yes, there are some working nuclear reactors in the Moscow!)
