For example: varistors VAR1 and VAR2 are connected between the A-phase power supply line and the B-phase power supply line to achieve differential-mode surge protection. The A-phase power supply line is connected to the grounding point PE through the varistor VAR1, the discharge tube SPG1, and the discharge tube SPG2 to achieve common-mode surge protection; that is, the varistor VAR1 participates in both differential-mode surge protection and common-mode surge protection. Similarly, the varistor VAR2 and the varistor VAR3 participate in both differential-mode surge protection and common-mode surge protection.
