The surge suppression system includes a modular housing having surge suppression circuitry disposed therein, and a ground rail. The ground rail is mounted on the terminal block. The modular housing includes a plurality of contact blade pairs and associated surge suppression circuitry such that, when positioned on the terminal block, each pair of contact blades disposes surge suppression circuitry between an 'equipment side' terminal and a 'field side' terminal of the terminal block.
