1. A surge protection device comprising:

  • a plurality of surge protection modules, each of said modules having a first terminal and a second terminal and connected to a first conductor at the first terminal and to a second conductor at the second terminal to provide surge protection between the first conductor and the second conductor;

    a peak detector circuit coupled to each of said surge protection modules; and

    a printed circuit board (PCB) having the surge protection modules mounted thereon, the PCB having a plurality of conductive layers separated by insulating layers, and a plurality of arrays of through holes extending through the PCB and having conducting material therein, wherein the through holes are adapted to dissipate transient currents by passing the transient currents between the conductive layers through the conducting material.
