Abstract
A surge protector having a hot line, a load line, a neutral line, and a ground line, the surge protector is provided. The surge protector has a fuse coupled between the hot line and the load line to protect loads from current surges. A differential mode protection circuit is coupled between the load line and the neutral line to protect loads from differential mode transient voltage surges. A common mode protection circuit is coupled to the load line, the neutral line and the ground line to protect loads from common mode transient voltage surges. An indicator circuit monitors the differential mode protection circuit and the common mode protection circuit to provide an indication as to the operational status of the surge protector.
