I don't know much about how the power company changes for power but I do know a little about PFC. Power Factor Correction is also used to reduce the harmonic noise devices put on a power line. For example, a simple bridge rectifier and filter cap to convert ac to dc creates a lot of harmonic distortion. This is because the cap can't draw current until the rectified voltage is > than the DC output voltage. Therefore the capacitor must draw larger amounts of current over shorter periods of time. An AC outlet may be able to run 4,100 watt power factor corrected devices but only 2,100 watt non power factor corrected products. This is because the PFC. devices peak current draw will be nearly equal to its average current draw. But the peak current on the non PFC. device may be >> than its average draw. Just some food for thought Steve
