Abstract
A method and apparatus for operating a power distribution system, includes providing a solid state switch downstream of a power source and upstream of an electrical load, the solid state switch operable in a conducting mode that enabling conduction from upstream to the output and a non-conducting mode that disables conduction from the input to the output, and providing a transient voltage suppressor defining a breakdown voltage upstream of the solid state switch.
