A high voltage transient surge suppression system which provides an improved fusing to greatly reduce or eliminate the chance of secondary combustion during an excess power situation. The invention discloses a fuse link system which places one or more fuse links between a first electrical potential and a second electrical potential, and which uses air to insulate or isolate electrical potentials so that products of combustion from an excess power surge do not form a conductive path between electrical potentials on a printed circuit board.
