Abstract
A transient voltage suppression circuit includes a voltage suppression circuit, a switch activation circuit, and a solid-state switch. The switch activation circuit is configured to selectively supply a switch activation signal. The solid-state switch is electrically connected in series with the voltage suppression circuit, is coupled to receive the switch activation signal selectively supplied by the switch activation circuit, and is configured, in response to the switch activation signal, to switch from an OFF state to an ON state.
