1. An apparatus comprising:
a case capable of receiving a plurality of capacitive devices, each capacitive device providing at least two capacitors, each capacitor having a capacitance value; and
a cover assembly with a peripheral edge secured to the case, the cover assembly comprising:
for each of the plurality of capacitive devices, a first cover terminal that extends upwardly from the cover assembly, wherein each first cover terminal is connected to one of the at least two capacitors of the respective one of the plurality of capacitive devices,
for each of the plurality of capacitive devices, a second cover terminal that extends upwardly from the cover assembly at a position spaced apart from the respective first cover terminal, wherein each second cover terminal is connected to another of the at least two capacitors for the respective one of the plurality of devices,
a common insulation barrier mounted to the cover assembly, wherein one first cover terminal extends through the common insulation barrier, the common insulation barrier includes barrier fins extending radially outwards, and
a separate insulation barrier mounted to the cover assembly, wherein one second cover terminal extends through the separate insulation barrier,
wherein the apparatus has a first KVAR value for the first cover terminal being disconnected from the second cover terminal.
