Why you take 0.95 as standard power factor?

When you need to calculate the estimated load or load current during initial design phase or so, you need to assume a value for power factor which is realistic. 0.95 is a realistic value.


At what power factor do commercial 4 tube fluorescent fittings usually operate or can they vary?

It varies based on the ballast. Most ballasts nowadays are "power factor corrected" to try and compensate for the bad powerfactor in switching power supplies. The actual power factor of a individual fixture is entirely dependent on the circuit of the ballast, which changes from design to design.

What security door opens during a power loss?

A security door that opens during a power loss is typically a fail-safe or fail-open door. This design ensures that in the event of a power outage, the door will unlock or open automatically to allow for safe egress and prevent entrapment. These doors are commonly used in emergency exits or locations where safety is paramount. However, they may pose a security risk, as they can be accessed by unauthorized individuals when power is lost.
