(Oh, pre-LED lighting) You don't tell much about the 11W energy saver bulbs. With integrated electronic ballasts, I'd expect slightly capacitive load with an untoward current wave form/extensive harmonics. There used to be decent (PF>.95) multi-lamp ballasts. With inductive ballasts, it was possible to compensate using capacitors, the good news being that you needed just one for quite a handful of lamps, say, one per circuit breaker.

Added info about synchronous condenser.

You may note a higher than random degree of correlation between such an occurrence and close-voting :-). Paranoia, no doubt :-). Or mayhaps a willingness to try and answer people's questions as a higher priority than kicking them into dark corners because we don't like their face. | |

| Sep 22, 2011 at 22:03 | comment | added | Kevin Vermeer | @Close-voters: How is power factor correction and generator capabilities off-topic? With my mod hat off, I'd say that this seems like a good question. If the discussion needs it, let's go to Meta. | |

Removed unrelated question on circuit breakers

| Sep 22, 2011 at 17:20 | comment | added | Kevin Vermeer | The inductive load and generator problem, while interesting, seems completely unrelated to the circuit breaker problem. My answer to you for this unrelated question would be: If you're already using 20A breakers, just leave them in place. They'll still blow before the wiring catches fire, and that's all you need them to do. I've removed this section from your question, ask it elsewhere if you need to know more. | |
