I assume you mean "me".  But I don't know much 
about pole pig systems and rarely get involved there...

I guess "TVSS" = Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor.

I have one that looks like this:

If this will help you, I'll send it to you for free.

In general, pole systems are too high of power 
for the parts we use on NST and electronic Tesla 
coils.  DigiKey does make BIG MOVs but they are 
way over priced and mostly "hollow" like part # 
P7134-ND...  The biggest one they have...  Many 
smaller ones will add to the same value with 
vastly better energy handling for far less 
cash.  I don't know how much is enough though.

Cheers,

        Terry
