(under subclass 271) Subject matter having means to safeguard against breakdowns or to counteract undesired operating characteristics.
(1) Note. The protective or compensative means is an integral part of the capacitor structure and significant details of the capacitor structure must be disclosed.
(2) Note. The protective or compensative means must be within or a part of the capacitor housing.

15+, for capacitors combined with systems for protecting them, as for example, against lightning surges.
600+, for miscellaneous housings, switchboards and analogous devices for housing or holding two different types of electrical components, one of which, for example, may be, an electrical capacitor.

174, Electricity: Conductors and Insulators, 8+, and 50+ for miscellaneous electrical housings for a
single electrical component, which may be, for example, a capacitor, and subclasses 140+ for capacitors combined with insulators for the purpose of distributing the electrostatic stress uniformly along the insulator.
