Jamie,
I, too, would like to know what it is that 'goes bad' in these cap banks. I
have several in my area that are, or have been, noisy.
In the past, the power company pulled the line fuse to temporarily solve a
noise issue, but, the hardware was still defective in the way of either the
associated surge suppressor, the series "switch" or the caps themselves.
Myself, I think that the common denominator with other identified noise
sources, this being the surge suppressors, are the ultimate culprit. But, I
would still like to hear from experts in the field.

Subject: [RFI] what causes capacitor bank interference?
I think I may have finally isolated a source (THE source?!!?!?) of my local
interference.....a capacitor bank about 4/10 mile away...pegs the meter on the
MFJ power line device, sounds like my noise in the headphones.....calling the
local utility tomorrow with the pole number, but what could be causing it?
hardware? bad insulator?
