Improved modular transient voltage surge suppressor that can reduce, or eliminate, the possibility of failures due to electrical-arcing are disclosed. In general, such transient voltage surge suppressors include: a non-conductive body having a first internal chamber and a second internal chamber separated by an internal wall structure, the interior region of the first internal chamber being substantially isolated from the interior region of the second internal chamber; a first electrical conductor extending through an external wall of the body and into the first internal chamber; a second electrical conductor extending through the external wall of the body and into the second internal chamber; fuse element(s) disposed within the first internal chamber, the fuse element(s) having a first terminal coupled to the first electrical conductor and a second terminal; transient suppression element(s) disposed within the second internal chamber, the transient suppression element(s) having a first terminal coupled to the second electrical conductor and a second terminal; and electrically-conductive means for coupling the second terminal of the fuse element(s) to a second terminal of the transient suppression element(s) whereby the fuse element(s) and the transient suppression element(s) are coupled in series between the first electrical conductor and the second electrical conductor, the means for coupling extending through the internal wall structure intermediate to the first internal chamber and the second internal chamber, whereby the fuse element(s) is (are) substantially isolated from the transient suppression element(s).
