Re: surge suppressor schematic?
Not sure where you can find a schematic of one.  
 
But you should be able to use an appropriately rated MOV across the hot and neutral of the mains.  
 
Simple surge protection and mains filter would be:  
 
Mains Input --> Fuse --> X Cap --> MOV --> Common Mode Choke --> Y caps --> X Cap --> Mains output to Equipment
