Abstract
A transient voltage suppression (TVSS) device is disclosed. The device comprises a surge module connected to a base module that connects the surge module to an electrical buss. The base module has a disconnect switch that allows the surge module to be isolated from the buss when the switch is off and connected to the buss when the switch is on. In this manner, maintenance or replacement of the surge module can be performed safely without removing power from the buss.
