[RFI] what causes capacitor bank interference?

[JW]

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.

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?
