Buy a dozen or so 20 mm 120V MOVs from Mouser or other supplier and put in your disconnect box and at your breaker. Before I did that, son's Klimaire inverter unit reset every few months due to power line transients where he is.
reset = shutdown and required breaker cycling to reset automatic latch off.
Yeah I keep 130v rms AC on hand and stick them in side stuff as I build and modify. I use them to protect electronics, such as when I built my entertainment stand I put them in the built in electrical distribution system, or to protect power factor correction capacitors in welding machines and air compressors.

What I do with 240 volt machines (welders, air compressors and plasma cutter) is wire a 130v MOV from each line to ground.
