For example, what capacitor do I need to add in order to enable power factor correction on a 120V 60Hz F20T12 preheat fluorescent tube fixture that draws 380mA using a simple series choke ballast?
The problem is that you data is incomplete, you do not know the real power factor of your lamp + ballast system. You can look up it on the nameplate, measure with a watt-meter, or guess. For example, at 120V your circuit will consume 45.6W apparent power. Let's wildly guess the ballast loss is 3W and tube power is really 20W, so by energy conservation law the active power is 23W. Solving power triangle, Q=SQR(S^2-P^2), reactive power to compensate is 39.3W. So, reactive current is 0.328A and the capacitor needed at 120V 60Hz is about 7.25uF. Practical PFC capacitor value is usually a bit lower, full compensation is not achieved.
