ABSTRACT:
An electrical surge protection apparatus is provided with first and second electrical terminals for connection to a first power line and third and fourth electrical terminals for connection to a second power line, a first conductive bus conductively connected to the first and second electrical terminals and a second conductive bus conductively connected to the third and fourth electrical terminals. Each of the conductive buses is sized to have a continuous current-carrying capability of at least about 60 amperes. The apparatus is also provided with a surge protector module having two terminals and a conductor which connects one terminal of the surge protector module directly to the first conductive bus and the other terminal of the surge protector module directly to the second conductive buss. The terminals of the surge protector module may be provided in the form of plug-in connectors, such as prongs, and the plug-in connectors may be plugged directly into a number of apertures or holes formed in the conductive busses.
