Abstract
A surge protection device comprising surge protector having a first terminal and a second terminal, one of the terminals being conductively connected to a first power transfer mechanism, such as a source of electrical power, and another of the terminals being conductively connected to a second power transfer mechanism, such as a sink of electrical power. The surge protector is operable to conduct current form one of the power transfer mechanism to another of the power transfer mechanism in the presence of a prolonged overvoltage surge across the first and second terminals of the surge protector. The surge protection device includes a mechanism for automatically disconnecting one of the terminals from one of the power transfer mechanisms in the presence of a prolonged overvoltage surge across the first and second terminals.
