  • Surge suppression module with disconnect
    Publication number: 20080019071
    Abstract: A transient voltage suppression (TVSS) device is disclosed. The device comprises a surge module connected to a base module that connects the surge module to an electrical buss. The base module has a disconnect switch that allows the surge module to be isolated from the buss when the switch is off and connected to the buss when the switch is on. In this manner, maintenance or replacement of the surge module can be performed safely without removing power from the buss.

  • Data surge protection module
    Patent number: 7161786
    Abstract: A data surge protection module which can be added to data and control networks not having such protection. The use of quick connect/disconnect connectors allows the rapid installation or replacement of such modules. a built in ground plate and a braided low impedance conductor offer alternative grounding methods for the module. The module employs two or more diode steering bridges and uses a diode as the surge suppression element.
