A capacitor provides a plurality of selectable capacitance values, by
selective connection of six concentrically wound capacitor sections of a
capacitive element each having a capacitance value. The capacitor
sections each have a respective section element terminal at a first end
of the capacitive element and the capacitor sections have a common
element terminal at a second end of the capacitive element. A pressure
interrupter cover assembly is sealingly secured to the open end a case
for the element and has a deformable cover with a centrally mounted
common cover terminal and a plurality of section cover terminals mounted
at spaced apart locations. A conductor frangibly connects the common
element terminal of the capacitive element to the common cover terminal
and conductors respectively frangibly connect the capacitor section
terminals to the section cover terminals. Deformation of the cover caused
by failure of the capacitor element breaks at least some of the frangible
connections sufficient to disconnect the capacitive element from an
electric circuit in which it is connected. A cover insulation barrier
mounted on the deformable cover, has a barrier cup substantially
surrounding the common cover terminal and a plurality of barrier fins
each extending radially outwardly from the barrier cup, and deployed
between adjacent section cover.
