Abstract
A surge protection device for providing electrical power to electronic devices and protecting the electronic devices from voltage surges. The surge protection device includes a surge protection circuit for absorbing voltage spikes or surges and a switch for disconnecting the electronic devices from AC power when a component of the surge protection circuit fails. The surge protection circuit provides a voltage signal indicative of whether the component fails failed to a controller and the controller outputs a control signal to the switch to control operation of the switch. The surge protection circuit may be provided on a separate circuit board that is removably electrically coupled to a main circuit board so as to facilitate easy removal and replacement of the surge protection circuit upon failure of a component.
