Abstract

An arrangement for protecting an electrical circuit from a voltage transient having a fast rise time, e.g. in the order of 20 Vns.sup.-1 comprises a number of semiconductive threshold foldback switching elements preferably formed from a chalcogenide glass, in parallel with one another between the current carrying line of the circuit and earth. An additional, non-linear, circuit protection device is connected in parallel with the switching element between the current carrying line and earth, in order to pass high frequency components of the transient to earth.
