Non-linear loads such as VFD drives and other rectifier power supplies usually cause a leading PF, similar to a capacitively reactive load. Many power supplies nowadays, like IT (computer) power supplies are PF corrected, BUT, when they are not loaded to full capacity they still cause a leading PF. Apparently the correction is only accurate at full load.
