Leading Power Factors

(OP)
Does anybody know of any way of correcting leading power factors associated with computer rooms and UPS's

RE: Leading Power Factors

Install line reactors.  You could also turn an induction motor nearby.  This would be analogous to running a synchronous condenser in the case of a lagging pf.
