Abstract
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.

An apparatus comprising:
- a case capable of receiving at least six capacitive elements, each of the capacitive elements providing at least one capacitor having a first capacitor terminal and a second capacitor terminal;
- a cover mountable to the case, the cover comprising:
- a common cover terminal having a contact extending from the cover,
- at least six capacitor cover terminals, each of the at least six capacitor cover terminals having at least one contact extending from the cover,
- at least six first conductors each configured to electrically connect the first capacitor terminal of one of the at least six capacitive elements to one of the at least six capacitor cover terminals,
- at least six second conductors each configured to electrically connect the second capacitor terminal of one of the at least six capacitive elements to the common cover terminal, and
- at least six insulation structures, wherein each of the at least six insulation structures corresponds to one of the at least six capacitor cover terminals;
- one or more designed capacitance indicators each corresponding to one of the at least six capacitive elements;
- and
- one or more actual capacitance indicators each corresponding to one of the at least six capacitive elements,
- wherein each of the designed capacitance indicators presents an intended capacitance value of the at least one capacitor provided by the corresponding capacitive element, and each of the actual capacitance indicators presents a measured capacitance value of the at least one capacitor provided by the corresponding capacitive element.
