A capacitor provides a plurality of selectable capacitance values, by
selective connection of six capacitor sections of a capacitive element
each having a capacitance value. The capacitor sections are provided in a
plurality of wound cylindrical capacitive elements. Two vertically
stacked wound cylindrical capacitance elements may each provide three
capacitor sections. There may be six separately wound cylindrical
capacitive elements each providing a capacitor section. The capacitor
sections have a common element terminal. A pressure interrupter cover
assembly is sealingly secured to the open end of case for the elements
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 capacitor section 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 terminals.
