Hello,this week i ordered a few 1.5ke36ca tvs's.I have a modern zw with 180 w bricks.After i ordered them i did some further investigating and found out that i could use the 33 volt tvs.My question is will the ones i ordered give me enough protection? thank you.

Yes.  The voltage spikes you're trying to stop are in the hundreds of volts; so a few volts won't matter as long as the TVS doesn't conduct at the voltage you want to have on the track.
