A circuit interrupting device including a vacuum interrupter, a capacitor, and an insulating housing. The vacuum interrupter includes a vacuum bottle and first and second contacts disposed within the vacuum bottle. The second contact is movable relative to the first contact between a closed position and an open position. The capacitor is electrically connected in parallel with the vacuum interrupter and wound around an outer surface of the vacuum bottle. The insulating housing encloses the capacitor and the vacuum interrupter.
