What effect (if any) does Power Factor Correction Equipment have on the viability of using ILLE?
Power factor correction equipment is typically installed within the main distribution board of a building. This equipment is used where it is deemed desirable to have the incoming voltage in phase with the incoming current. This outcome is normally achieved by switching capacitors across the incoming phases. (Automatically depending on the load of the building). Because buildings are inductive loads due to motors, fans, compressors, refrigeration, etc, capacitors are necessary to correct the power factor.
