The disclosed protector comprises a three electrode gas tube overvoltage protector serially connected with a heating element, the combination being connected in shunt across the load to be protected. Between that protecting shunt path and the source, a normally closed switch is provided which is responsive to the heating element and opens in the event of a sustained overvoltage condition. Accordingly, a prolonged surge which might otherwise destroy the gas tube and/or the protected load is isolated from both the shunt protection branch and from the load thus preventing damage to both.
