Woohoo!  We have a local expert among us who understands power factor;  good
deal thanks Dr. Neal.  I now know who to consult if this question comes up
again.  I ended up scrambling for the old engineering text books, the ones
from which that old-book smell eminates whenever I open them, to remind
myself how power factor works and how to size a motor to optimize or
compensate.  spike
