I have an inductive load (120 volts AC at 0.5 amps AC at 60 Hz, 0.9 power factor before correction) that is a connected to the grid. I have been trying to increase the power factor above 0.95, but no matter how much I tune the power factor correction capacitors I cannot increase the power factor above 0.95. I can decrease it by a dramatic amount, as low as 0.24. Is the reason for this because I can't increase the power factor of my load above the power factor of the grid which is supplying my load?
