Abstract
An apparatus suitable for use in an air-conditioning system and configured to provide a plurality of selectable capacitance values includes a plurality of capacitive devices and a pressure interrupter cover assembly. Each of the capacitive devices has a first capacitor terminal and a second capacitor terminal. The pressure interrupter cover assembly includes a deformable cover, a set of section cover terminals, a common cover terminal, and a set of insulation structures. The first capacitor terminal of at least one of the capacitive devices is electrically connectable to one of the section cover terminals, and the second capacitor terminal of the at least one of the capacitive devices is electrically connectable to the common cover terminal.
