Power factor correction capacitors
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a case configured to receive a plurality of capacitive elements, each capacitive element having at least two capacitors, each capacitor having a capacitive value; and
a cover assembly with a peripheral edge secured to the case, the cover assembly comprising;
for each of the plurality of capacitive elements, a first cover terminal that extends upwardly from the cover assembly, wherein each first cover terminal is connected to one of the at least two capacitors of the respective one of the plurality of capacitive elements,for each of the plurality of capacitive elements, a second cover terminal that extends upwardly from the cover assembly at a position spaced apart from the first cover terminal, wherein each second cover terminal at the spaced apart position is connected to another of the at least two capacitors for the respective one of the plurality of capacitive elements,a common insulation barrier mounted to the cover assembly, wherein one of the first cover terminals that extends upwardly from the cover assembly extends through the common insulation barrier, the common insulation barrier including barrier fins extending radially outwards, anda separate insulation barrier mounted to the cover assembly, wherein one of the second cover terminals that extends upwardly from the cover assembly at the spaced apart position extends through the separate insulation barrier.

Abstract
An apparatus includes a case capable of receiving a plurality of capacitive elements, each capacitor element having at least two capacitors, and each capacitor having a capacitive value. The apparatus also includes a cover assembly with a peripheral edge secured to the case. The cover assembly includes, for each of the plurality of capacitive elements, a cover terminal that extends upwardly from the cover assembly generally at a central region of the cover assembly. Each cover terminal is connected to one of the at least two capacitors of the respective one of the plurality of capacitive elements. The cover assembly also includes, for each of the plurality of capacitive elements, a cover terminal that extends upwardly from the cover assembly at a position spaced apart from the cover terminal generally at the central region of the cover assembly.
