DIFFERENT B/W CAPACITIVE AND INDUCTIVE LOAD

In a capacitive load current lead voltage by 90 degree and in Inductive load voltage lead current by 90 degree. Combined together and driven by a PULSE, you can have resonant circuit.
       To improve power consumption , you can reduce the power factor by using capacitance in a inductive load and vice-versa. SO it depend on load.
In power system to be efficient you need to stay b/w 1(unity) and 0.95 leading this gives a higher efficiency and less reactive power Kvar
It is balance to correct load , to reduce lag add some resistive load.
