[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2711512, member: 5412"] Looks like an MOV failure. (Metal Oxide Varistor). Those and clamping diodes are used in surge suppressors to fail if any voltage exceeds their rated voltage. Its designed to absorb the potentially destructive energy from a line short, or lightning and fail. Most often the failure is violent, as your pic shows. One little issue with them is that they ALMOST fail at the speed of light. Almost..... [/QUOTE]
