1. An apparatus configured to provide a plurality of selectable capacitance values, comprising:
six capacitive devices housed in a case, wherein each capacitive device has a first capacitor terminal;
a cover assembly comprising:
a deformable cover mountable to the case;
six cover terminals configured to physically establish an electrical connection to external equipment, each capacitor cover terminal corresponding to one of the six capacitive devices, and each capacitor cover terminal having at least one contact extending from the deformable cover, wherein the deformable cover is configured to displace at least one of the six capacitor cover terminals upon an operative failure of at least one of the six capacitive devices;
six insulation structures, wherein each insulation structure is configured to provide insulation for at least one of the six capacitor cover terminals;
a common cover terminal configured to physically establish an electrical connection to the external equipment, the common cover terminal having at least one electrical contact extending from the deformable cover; and
a circuitry connection terminal configured to physically establish an electrical connection to external equipment and for connecting and disconnecting the external equipment from a circuit; and
six conductors, wherein each conductor is configured to electrically connect one of the six capacitor cover terminals to a corresponding one of the six capacitive devices.
