What is the difference between the reactor and the capacitor?
Reactor is the inductance ah, usually magnetic components plus winding wound, storage of magnetic field energy, the capacitor is stored in the electric field energy.
Capacitors in order to boost, so that the voltage ahead; reactor in order to buck, so that the voltage lag; they are in the system are reactive power, improve power quality
Reactor is the inductive load, there are series and parallel in series, the series is mainly used to limit the short-circuit current, parallel mainly used for ultra-high voltage long-distance transmission, the compensation line capacitance. Capacitors are capacitive loads that are used primarily to compensate for reactive and energy storage. Inductance and capacitance combinations for filtering and so on.
