That's the best way, and we did do that, but it can be useful to float some amount of capacitance across the line. We did this where I worked. We had five primary substations that we owned, with their (obviously) inductive transformers, plus enough random loads going on and off all night. Our PF maybe have been above 1.0 at times, but we didn't worry about it. Our billed PF was always above .90, so we earned a nice $100-150 credit to our monthly bill. > Trying to sell power factor correction to home owners and small business' is > a scam.
