One device includes a first electrode positioned on a first surface of the device, a second electrode positioned on the first surface of the device, and a floating electrode positioned on a second surface of the device. The first electrode is configured to receive a surge current from a first conductor. The surge current travels through the device from the first electrode to the floating electrode and from the floating electrode to the second electrode.
