A current and transient voltage protector. The protector module for a
wiring block having at least one wiring strip includes an insulative
housing having opposed ends, at least four electrically conductive
contacts defining a first contact, a second contact, a third contact, and
a fourth contact partially disposed in the housing. The first contact and
second contact extend through one of the ends and the third contact and
fourth contact extend through the other end. The first contact and the
third contact are aligned and the second contact and the fourth contact
are aligned and adjacent to the first contact and the third contact. A
first fuse is disposed in the housing and is electrically connected
between the first contact and the third contact while a second fuse, also
disposed in the housing, is electrically connected between the second
contact and the fourth contact. In an alternative embodiment, two voltage
surge suppressors are disposed in the housing with a first voltage surge
suppressor being electrically connected to said third contact and a second
voltage surge suppressor being electrically connected to said fourth
contact. A ground contact is provided and is electrically connected to the
first voltage surge suppressor and the second voltage surge suppressor.
