1. A transient voltage surge suppressor circuit, for low frequency, high power applications, comprising:

  • a) a pair of input terminals for connecting said circuit to a source of electrical power operating at power distribution frequencies and capable of producing transient high current, high power surges and to a circuit requiring low frequency, high power surge suppression protection;

    b) surge suppressor means capable of suppressing low frequency, high power surges, electrically coupled to said input terminals for maintaining maximum voltage suppression capability at said input terminals; and

    c) at least one stripline conductor pair, capable of conducting low frequency, high power electric surges, electrically interposed between said input terminals and said surge suppressor means such that an inductive reactance present within said stripline conductor pair during low frequency, high power surges is minimized.
