ABSTRACT:
A varistor-based voltage suppression circuit is coupled to a power distribution system having at least one power line and at least one neutral line. A varistor is coupled directly to the power and neutral lines of the distribution circuit so that the electric current travels across at least one planar surface of the varistor, thus eliminating one or more leads from the distribution circuit to the varistor circuit. The suppression circuit may be a single varistor or a number of varistors in parallel with a number of lines in the distribution circuit.
