The embodiment of the invention discloses an inductive current compensation type test transformer. The transformer comprises a test transformer main body, a reactive power compensation device, an electric signal detection device and an automatic switching device, wherein the reactive power compensation device is used for selecting a reactive power compensation module and the compensation position,the electric signal detection device is used for detecting the current and the voltage of the test transformer and feeding back the detection result to a platform in real time, and the automatic switching device adjusts and outputs a control signal according to the phases of the secondary current and the secondary voltage of the test transformer so as to adjust a compensation inductance value. The inductive current compensation type test transformer is advantaged in that the capacitive reactive current in the test system is compensated by a compensation inductor, the capacitive current is completely compensated from input to output, the loading capacity of the test transformer is improved, test efficiency is improved, the construction progress is accelerated, and test safety is indirectlyimproved.
