ABSTRACT:
A surge suppression system includes a surge suppression circuit having multiple surge suppression elements each capable of activating during a voltage transient or other power surge condition. A multi-level monitoring circuit surveys the percentage of operational surge suppression elements. The monitoring circuit generates a low priority signal when a small percentage of the surge suppression elements are disabled. The monitoring circuit generates a high priority signal when a second higher percentage of the surge suppressor elements are disabled. In another aspect of the invention, each fuse is formed as a trace on a printed circuit board.
