An apparatus to recover a reactive power of a plasma display panel, the
apparatus including a power supply source, first and second discharge
electrodes to perform a surface discharge with a voltage from the power
supply source, a panel capacitor having opposite ends connected to the
respective discharge electrodes and which is discharged by supplying a
charge voltage to one of the first and second discharge electrodes, an
inductor provided between the one of the first and second discharge
electrodes and the panel capacitor. The inductor is charged by a discharge
current of the panel capacitor and induces the charge voltage of the panel
capacitor to be recovered.
