A surge protector or transient suppressors for AC power lines having its components mounted on a circuit board. The metalization of the board are configured to present as large a surface area as possible, given the topology of the board, to the flow of current. A return conductor is placed on the opposite side of the board with a large surface area corresponding to the first conductor. The magnetic field between the two conductors is substantially cancelled. This configuration reduces the magnetic field intensities associated with the flow of current, thereby reducing self-inductance.
