1. An apparatus comprising:
a case capable of receiving a plurality of capacitive devices, wherein each of the capacitive devices has a first capacitor terminal and a second capacitor terminal;
a cover assembly comprising:
a deformable cover mountable to the case,
a common cover terminal having a contact extending from the cover,
a plurality of capacitor cover terminals, each of the plurality of capacitor cover terminals having at least one contact extending from the deformable cover, wherein the deformable cover is configured to displace at least one of the plurality of capacitor cover terminals upon an operative failure of at least one of the plurality of the capacitive devices, and
a plurality of insulation structures, wherein one of the plurality of insulation structures is associated with one of the plurality of capacitor cover terminals;
a first conductor capable of electrically connecting the first capacitor terminal of one of the plurality of capacitive devices to one of the plurality of capacitor cover terminals and a second conductor capable of electrically connecting the second capacitor terminal of the one of the plurality of capacitive devices to the common cover terminal; and
a magnetic element positioned within the case between at least one of the plurality of capacitive devices and a wall of the case.
