Don't think so? Call the manufacturer or send him an email and ask 'em.

I did. But I guess these pimplefaced youngsters that call themselves
full blown sales-people don't know anything usefull and therefor tend
to avoid any just ANY risk of being accountable.

But what do you think of the varistor/fuse setup? I also want to use
it in the incoming shore connection. Some shore connections are
generator powered. That means there is a risk of the null hanging a
bit loose what may cause v-spikes also. Would this setup protect my
combined inverter charger in your opinion?
