Claim Text:
1. An electrical surge protection device structured to be installed on an electrical enclosure and to be electrically connected with a number of line conductors, the electrical surge protection device comprising: a support; a number of electrical components disposed on the support and structured to be electrically connected with the number of line conductors; an electrical conductor electrically connected with the number of electrical components; a shield apparatus comprising an electrically conductive shield, the shield being situated on the support and being formed to have a hollow interior region within which at least a portion of the number of electrical components are generally situated, the shield and the support being structured to restrain within the interior region an increased ambient pressure generated by an electrical component of the number of electrical components from a power surge on a line conductor of the number of line conductors; and the electrical conductor being electrically connected with the shield and being structured to be electrically connected with at least one of a ground conductor and a neutral conductor, the shield and the electrical conductor being structured to shunt to the at least one of a ground conductor and a neutral conductor any arc generated from a power surge on a line conductor of the number of line conductors.
