Abstract
A break-away element for an electrical capacitor is used in conjunction with a capacitor winding integrated into a housing having a cover and a floor. Electrical terminals are connected to the power leads of the capacitor winding through insulating bushings. One or more rated break locations are provided in the power leads, the rated break locations having a geometrical shape with a continuous transition from the cross section of the power lead in the form of a wire to the cross section of the rated break locations.
