A capacitor assembly comprises a plurality of capacitor elements (e.g., four or more capacitor elements) each having a first end surface and a second end surface defining a first polarity terminal and a second polarity terminal, respectively. The plurality of capacitor elements are arranged in at least one stacked pair with a first polarity terminal of a first capacitor element in each stacked pair being opposed to a first polarity terminal of a second capacitor element in such stacked pair. The plurality of capacitor elements in this aspect are contained in a housing. A first polarity bus bar and a second polarity bus bar are electrically connected to the plurality of capacitor elements. The plurality of capacitor elements may be connected in parallel.

Capacitor assembly

A capacitor assembly is provided having a case containing an upper capacitor and a lower capacitor in vertical alignment, each of the capacitor elements are separately sealed and provided with a pressure interrupter. A terminal board overlays the cover of the upper capacitor and is affixed to the top of the case. The terminals associated with the upper capacitor are mounted on the cover and extend through openings in the terminal board. The terminals associated with the lower capacitor are mounted on the terminal board and connected to contacts on the cover of the lower capacitor. The common leads of all of the capacitor elements are connected, thereby allowing any or all of the capacitor elements to be connected in parallel by accessing the terminals from the terminal board.

Multi-rated capacitor assembly

A capacitor assembly is provided with a plurality of wound capacitor elements aligned horizontally in a longitudinally extended housing, whereby the largest capacitor element solely occupies a tier in the housing, another tier in the housing is solely occupied by two of the capacitor elements, and wherein the capacitor elements are configurable to provide various capacitance values.
