ABSTRACT:
A transient voltage surge suppression system incorporating a current protection device comprised of a voltage sensitive and a thermal sensitive device. The voltage sensitive device has a predetermined voltage rating and increases in temperature as voltage applied thereto exceeds its voltage rating. The thermal sensitive device is responsive to heating of the voltage sensitive device to break an electrical current path if an overvoltage condition sensed by the voltage sensitive device exceeds the voltage rating of the voltage sensitive device.
