Capacitor for multiple replacement applications
First Claim
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 capacitive devices having a first capacitor terminal and a second capacitor terminal, three of the capacitive devices having a combined capacitance value of about 55.0 microfarads;
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 one contact 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 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; and
a conductor configured to electrically connect the second capacitor terminal of at least one of the capacitive devices to the common cover terminal,wherein the first capacitor terminal of the at least one of the capacitive devices is electrically connected to one of the capacitor cover terminals.

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 capacitor cover terminals, a common cover terminal, and a set of insulation structures. The apparatus also includes a conductor configured to electrically connect the second capacitor terminal of at least one of the capacitive devices to the common cover terminal.
