Hey - A little dim light just went on.
Realizing this would not be too practical, but in theory only, and discounting the lighting system for the moment, would it be a cool idea to figure the PF & KVA for each individual piece of equipment, and install correction right at the equipment so the correction switches on and off with the equipment? The overall system PF correction at any given moment would be determined by which equipment was actually running, and having the correction at the load would minimize line losses in the wiring system.
This leads to the obvious question of why don't equipment manufacturer install PF correction right on their equipment as a standard feature?
Too much 'pie in the sky"? Just theoretical wondering.
