Lines: 8 I looked at some GE literature I have, and it appears that the voltage rating is in terms of the DC voltage level at which the MOV starts conducting. GE gives both the DC and AC levels in their specs. For example, for the V18ZA1, Maximum Continuous Voltage: DC 14 V; AC 10 V RMS. --henry schaffer n c state univ References: <8426@brl-tgr.ARPA>
