This is one of our timers on the property. The wire in the motor coil is as fine as your hair and a burst of line voltage will blow it out like a fuse. The yellow disc that looks like a ceramic capacitor is actually an mov and rated at 130 volts. So it will take the excess spike in line voltage and preserve the clock motor. An " MOV " is a Metalic Oxide Varistor and made from aluminum oxide and they work well.
