Claim Text:
1. A multi-rated capacitor suitable for use with a fan motor and a compressor motor in an air-conditioning system and configured to provide a plurality of selectable capacitance values, comprising: six capacitive devices housed in a case, wherein each capacitive device has a dielectric that is comprised of metalized film, each independently provides at least one capacitance value between about 2.5 to 25.0 microfarads, and each capacitive device has a first capacitor terminal and a second capacitor terminal; a cover assembly comprising: six conductors, wherein each is configured to electrically connect one capacitor cover terminal to its corresponding capacitive device, wherein at least one of the capacitive devices is operable to be and remain coupled to the fan motor during operation of the air-conditioning system and wherein at least another of the capacitive devices is operable to be and remain coupled to the compressor motor during operation of the air-conditioning system.
