MOVs don't stop, block, or absorb surges to keep them out of
equipment.
MOVs absorb the surge energy they are exposed to at their terminals.
E=I*R applies. The MOV absorbs electrical energy and converts it
to heat energy, as long as it is working. They absorb whatever
amount of the total surge energy they are exposed to across
their terminals, again, only as long as they are working. Energy
arriving at their terminals beyond their specs will burn them
out, which, of course, demonstrates (sometimes dramatically) that
they absorb energy.
