Abstract
A surge protector for an electrical component configured to withstand higher voltages without breakdown and without substantially raising maximum voltage during high voltage surges. The surge protector may have a first varistor, a gas discharge tube (GDT), and a resistor. The GDT may be non-conductive below a trigger voltage and is conductive above the trigger voltage. The first varistor and the GDT may be connected in series between a live line and a ground line and/or a second line and the ground line, and the resistor may extend across a spark gap of the GDT. The electrical component may include the live line, the second line, the ground line, the surge protector, and a load electrically-coupled with the live line, the second line, and the ground line.
