A device includes first and second device terminals, a fuse, a first circuit, a first transistor, and a control circuit. The fuse terminal couples to the first device terminal. The first circuit couples to the second fuse terminal. The second fuse terminal has a first voltage. The first transistor has a first control input and first and second current terminals. The first current terminal couples to the second fuse terminal, and the second current terminal couples to the second device terminal. The control circuit: turns “on” the first transistor into a saturation region if the first voltage exceeds a threshold and a current through the fuse exceeds a trip threshold current of the fuse; and turns “on” the first transistor into a linear region if the first voltage exceeds a threshold and a current through the fuse is below the trip threshold current of the fuse.

A voltage transient detector includes circuitry for transmitting electrical current through a light emitting diode and a fuse that is serially connected between the light emitting diode and a reference potential, such that the light emitting diode is illuminated when the fuse is not blown. The voltage transient detector also includes circuitry for transmitting a controlled amount of electrical current through the fuse in conjunction with an occurrence of a voltage transient at a voltage measurement location, where the voltage transient exceeds a set transient threshold voltage. The controlled amount of electrical current transmitted through the fuse causing the fuse to blow and the light emitting diode to turn off, thereby indicating occurrence of the voltage transient at the voltage measurement location.

A DC and/or an AC power transmission circuit protection system is for protection of a cabling medium. The circuit protection system includes a power supply, a powered device and a circuit protection module that includes an over-current and/or over-voltage circuit module and/or a heat circuit protector. The protection system is disposed between the power supply and the powered device, and interrupts an electrical current that flows through the cabling medium when the over-current and/or over-voltage circuit module and/or the circuit protector exceeds a predetermined level. There is also provided a method to dispose the circuit protection system and the circuit protection module within the circuit and to interrupt the circuit when over-current and/or over-voltage circuit module and/or heat circuit protector exceeds a predetermined level.
