ABSTRACT:
A capacitor unit includes a housing having a pair of conventional electrical terminals. Contained within the housing are a pair of capacitors connected in parallel to the two terminals. One of the capacitors is connected to one of the terminals by a relatively thin wire which passes to the terminal through an anchoring location. The wire is connected in such a fashion that rotation of the terminal by a service man will break it. This reduces the capacitance of the unit to that of the remaining capacitor.
