My trusty 30-year-old (yes, I use "trust" in the same sentence with=20
something over a decade old) Heathkit AC power distribution base started=20
blowing fuses and I popped it open to find this blown MOV...

So it's a 130VAC MOV with a "rating" of 20.  But a couple questions so I=20
can find a suitable replacement:
- 130V is the continuous max voltage, correct?
- What exactly is "rating"?  It is the joules that the device can handle?

If so, I can just pick up anything with a 130VAC, 20J (or higher)=20
rating, correct?

Cheers,
