The invention provides an energy saving reactive compensation cabinet based on an intelligent capacitor, belonging to an electric power control device, and comprises a cabinet body, in which a breaker, a controller and a compensating circuit are arranged. The compensating circuit comprises a plurality of sets of three-phase joint compensating circuits and single-phase separate compensating circuits; each three-phase joint compensating circuit and each single-phase separate compensating circuit both comprise a capacitor, and a switching switch used for controlling the capacitor to provide reactive compensation; the breaker is in connection with a three-phase power grid power supply, and is used for controlling power on/off states of a whole reactive compensation cabinet; the controller is in series connection between the breaker and the compensating circuit; the power supply of each phase is provided with a voltage detector and a current detector. The cabinet body is prepared by composite materials of reasonable compatibility, including: 50-60 wt% of epoxy resin, 10-25 wt% of alkali-free glass fibers, 10-25 wt% of carbon fibers, 0.5-5 wt% of flow modifiers, 1-3 wt% of heatproof modifiers, 3-5 wt% of compatilizers, 0.3-0.5 wt% of main anti-oxidants, 0.3-0.5 wt% of auxiliary anti-oxidants, and 1-3 wt% of processing auxiliary agents. The energy saving reactive compensation cabinet has sound compensation effects and a long service life, and is not easy to damage.
