What is the reactive power compensation of the transformer?

Answer:

Transformer reactive power compensation is to compensate for the transformer to form the power required by the electromagnetic field, the reason why called reactive power, because it is only exchanged, not consumed. Reactive and active in fact have the same physical properties, in the transmission and use of the process is not part of what is active, that part is reactive. But they are different, there must be other forms of power to be able to transform, no power is not needed.
The use of capacitors to compensate for reactive power, improve the transformer's active power output capability.
