1. An apparatus suitable for use in an air-conditioning system and configured to provide a plurality of selectable capacitance values, comprising:

  • a plurality of capacitive devices housed in a case, each of the plurality of capacitive devices having a first capacitor terminal and a second capacitor terminal, six of the plurality of capacitive devices having a combined capacitance value of about 67.5 microfarads; and

    a pressure interrupter cover assembly comprising;

    a deformable cover mountable to the case,a set of capacitor cover terminals, each capacitor cover terminal having at least three electrical contacts extending from the deformable cover, wherein the deformable cover is configured to displace at least one of the capacitor cover terminals based upon an operative failure,a common cover terminal having at least one electrical contact extending from the deformable cover, anda set of insulation structures, wherein each insulation structure is configured to provide insulation for at least one of the capacitor cover terminals,wherein the first capacitor terminal of at least one of the plurality of capacitive devices is electrically connectable to one of the capacitor cover terminals, andwherein the second capacitor terminal of the at least one of the plurality of capacitive devices is electrically connectable to the common cover terminal.
