1. An apparatus comprising:
a case capable of receiving a plurality of capacitive devices, one or more of the capacitive devices providing at least one capacitor having 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,
at least three capacitor cover terminals, each of the at least three 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 at least three capacitor cover terminals upon an operative failure of at least one of the plurality of the capacitive devices, and
at least four insulation structures, wherein one of the four insulation structures is associated with one of the at least three capacitor cover terminals;
a first conductor capable of electrically connecting the first capacitor terminal of a capacitor provided by one of the plurality of capacitive devices to one of the at least three capacitor cover terminals and a second conductor capable of electrically connecting the second capacitor terminal of the capacitor provided by one of the plurality of capacitive devices to the common cover terminal; and
a magnetic element positioned within the case between the capacitive devices and a bottom wall of the case.
