1. An apparatus comprising:
a container capable of receiving a plurality of capacitive devices, each of the capacitive devices having a first capacitor terminal and a second capacitor terminal;
a cover mountable to the container, the cover comprising:
a common cover terminal having at least one 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 cover;
a plurality of first conductors, each first conductor electrically connectable to one of the first capacitor terminals of the plurality of capacitive devices and one of the plurality of capacitor cover terminals;
a second conductor electrically connectable to each of the second capacitor terminals of the plurality of capacitive devices and the common cover terminal; and
a plurality of insulation structures, each insulation structure associated with one of the plurality of capacitor cover terminals; and
a relay that controls opening and closing of contacts, wherein the contacts open and close in response to a monitored condition of a motor connected to the apparatus, and selected ones of the plurality of capacitive devices are connected across a run capacitor of the motor when the contacts are closed,
wherein the relay is sized to fit above the container and entirely fit within a cylindrical envelope being projected from the container, and wherein the relay sized to fit within the cylindrical envelope being projected from the container is coverable by a removable cap attachable to a top of the container.
