Abstract: A bundled capacitor with a plurality of individual capacitors is described herein. Each bundled capacitor provides an individual capacitance value. The bundled capacitor can include a housing, a cap connected to the housing, a central common terminal, a plurality of auxiliary terminals, an interrupter, an insulating spider, an insulated collective connection, a thermal fuse, a frangible electrical connection, an insulating layer, a resin disposed around the capacitors, and an expansion chamber formed between the resin and the interrupter, enabling the cap to deform when one of the capacitors overheats in the bundled capacitor.

Abstract: A system for providing selective capacitance with a bundled capacitor is described herein. The bundled capacitor can include a housing a cap, a central common terminal, a plurality of auxiliary terminals, an interrupter, an insulating spider, a plurality of individual rolled sandwich like connected capacitors, a thermal fuse, a frangible electrical connection, an insulating layer, a resin, and an expansion chamber. A single phase motor can be connected to the bundled capacitor.

Abstract: A method for generating a multiplicity of capacitance values is described herein. The method can include lining a housing with an insulating layer to form a lined housing. Wires can be connected to terminals of capacitors to form a collective connection. The collective connection can be connected to a fuse to form a wired bundle, which can be disposed within the housing. A resin can be poured into the housing to form an expansion chamber. A common terminal and auxiliary terminals can be disposed within a cap, which can have an insulating spider. An interrupter can also be secured to the cap. The method can include connecting each positive wire to one of the auxiliary terminals and connecting the fuse to the common terminal. A lip of the cap can be deformed around the housing for securing the cap to the housing, forming a bundled capacitor.
