Abstract

A circuit for attenuating interfering voltage excursions occurring in either the common mode or transverse mode. An isolation transformer having primary and secondary windings separated by a conductive grounded shield has connected across one or both of its windings a shunt path comprising a capacitor in series with a breakdown device of predetermined bi-directional threshold conduction level with a dead band.
