what are the problems are there if power factor is leading ..

Answer / arman

When the power factor is leading, the capacitive kVAr is
more than the Inductive kVAr and this still has to be
supplied by the source. As kVA is the vector sum of kW and
kVAr, still for the given kW, you have to produce more kVA.
Alternately, for the given kVA, you can only convert
partially into useful work.

Secondary effects are voltage boost in the system,
availability of stored energy to feed the fault in case of a
fault, increase in the asymmetrical component of fault
current, increasing thus the peak value of the fault
current, etc.

Before i went to bed my master bathroom lights were working fine. At 2 am, when I went to use the lights, none of them were working. The outlets throughout the bathroom work, but the lights and fan above the toilet don't. I have two panels of switches. The one panel has four switches. One of the switches turns on the hall light, and that works. The other three are to other lights, and they don't. The other panel has three switches. One of those is to the fan, and the other is to a light above the toilet. The other is a to light that is also on that other panel. I tried the breakers, and the one that turns off the outlets, marked for the bathrooom, turns on and off the outlets. None seemed to be tripped. I checked the lightbulbs, and they are fine. Please help
