Recognize these inrush current limiting devices?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on identifying a failed inrush current limiting device on a circuit board, specifically one marked with a logo resembling a superimposed letter V. Users suggest it may be a transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode or a resettable fuse, with some speculating that the number "103" could indicate a power rating of 1000 watts. A Google Images search has yielded results pointing to a PTC resettable fuse, and further investigation reveals the double-V logo is associated with a company acquired by Littelfuse. The thread emphasizes the need for assistance in recognizing these components.

TL;DR Summary
Help me recognize these inrush current limiting devices
I have a circuit board, and one of these inrush current limiting devices (yellow arrows) has failed. Does anyone recognize them? Failing that, does anyone recognize the logo that looks like a letter V and an upside down V superimposed? I have searched in several places, but have been unable to identify them.

Perhaps clamping diode ie a TVS ( transient voltage suppression ) .
the 103 could mean 1000 watts but that's a guess.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
