Thank you

I don't know too much about PF correction but I do know:

Stove: Doesn't need power factor correction.
Incandescent lights: Doesn't need PF correction.
Vacuum: Who cares..not on long enough
Computer: Already has PF correction.

Ballast for tube lights: ??
Let's say a ballast has a PF of 0.5.
So 200Watts billed to supply 100Watts.
(If I got that right..)

Does a 90% efficient converter doing power factor correction that
burns 10Watts to deliver 100watts to a ballast result in a power
reduction of 90 watts?

Fridge?
