Spell Revisions mod has removed the Protection From Electricity (spell) from the arcane spell library. It has no equivalent replacement in SR for the player or opponents in the game. However SR does provide the following 4th level arcane spell (new). See below for description:

Protection from Elemental Energy
Level: 4
School: Abjuration
Range: Touch
Duration: 1 turn/level
Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: 1 creature
Saving Throw: None
When this spell is cast, the recipient receives complete protection from one damage type: acid, cold, fire, or lightning. 100% of the damage from the selected source of energy will be absorbed, and the target creature will become completely immune to the effects of spells based on that element. Multiple castings of this spell are not cumulative, but each time a different damage type can be selected.

There is also the new 2nd level arcane spell described below:
Resist Elements
Level: 2
School: Abjuration
Sphere: Protection
Range: Touch
Duration: 1 turn + 1 round/level
Casting Time: 2
Area of Effect: 1 creature

Upon the casting of this spell, the recipient’s resistance to all forms of elemental damage is increased by 25%. This effect will last for the duration of the spell or until dispelled. Multiple castings of this spell are not cumulative.
