By adding a capacitor (typically dry type) across the line, the power factor of the reactor system can be increased to be better than 90%. Adding the capacitor drops the required input current for starting and operating conditions down to as low as 50% lower than is needed for the normal power factor reactor system. This allows for more lamps and ballasts per circuit using the same wire gauge as with NPF systems.

A ballast is an integral component of most modern lighting systems. It is primarily designed to perform three critical tasks: Deliver the proper voltage to start or ignite the lamp(s), Regulate the electric current flowing through the lamp(s), and Compensate for variations in line voltage. The ballast must correspond exactly to the requirements of the lamp it is designed to operate in order to ensure optimal performance.
