Reactive power

In some cases, special circuits are used to measure the reactive power. For example, the reactive power measurement can be performed with compensation capacitors to determine the amount of reactive power compensation. Here, capacitors are added or removed to minimize the phase shift angle and thus compensate for the reactive power.
