What I said was that the two negative poles MUST be in continuity, because only that way do you get a connection to ground through one of these 4-pole capacitors, as shown in their own diagram. That hook-up they show would not work to produce a positive DC voltage unless the negative node of the bridge rectifier is in direct continuity with ground. Then someone else smarter than me pointed out that the positive poles also must be in continuity, even though the cartoon diagram suggests two separate functioning units in one can. I don't blame Uncle Stu for his confusion; the ambiguous blurb on the Jensen website does not help. But you are correct to say the 4-pole capacitor is ONE capacitor with a novel input/output strategy said (by Jensen) to reduce inductance, which only comes into play at extremely high frequencies.
