(under subclass 246) Systems having combined therewith means designed to alter the power factor of the system.
(1) Note. To be classified in this subclass, there must be included in the system some device which has no function other than to alter the power factor of the system. Systems under the definition of subclass 246 having the circuit elements designed to give a desired power factor are not included in this subclass but are in the subclasses below. For example, for systems under the definition of subclass 246, having a transformer in the circuit supplying power to the load device, the transformer being designed to give a particular power factor, search subclass 276 and indented subclasses below.
