An example system includes a plurality of transient voltage suppressors (TVSs) that are connected in series across an electrical bus of an aircraft, the electrical bus having a high side and a low side; a plurality of switches, each switch of the plurality of switches configured to selectively shunt a corresponding TVS of the plurality of TVSs to the low side of the electrical bus; and a controller configured to: determine a desired voltage suppression level; and control operation of the plurality of switches such that the plurality of TVSs provides the desired voltage suppression level.
