TSP-12 and TSP-24 spike protectors add system safety by ensuring an exit to ground, should an AC or DC spike invade the vessel's charging system. Fused diodes are designed to fail before alternator diodes are likely to be damaged.

The TSP sacrifices itself to save other expensive components. Mounts directly to the alternator between positive & negative contacts. 10 amps.
