Reactive Power Units Introduction
Volt-ampere reactive (VAR) represents reactive power in AC circuits caused by reactive components such as inductors and capacitors. Specifically, 1 var is equal to 1 volt-ampere reactive (1 var = 1 V·A). Reactive power cannot perform useful work but is crucial for maintaining the phase relationship between voltage and current.
Millivolt-ampere reactive (mVAR) represents one-thousandth of a volt-ampere reactive. Specifically, 1 millivar is equal to 0.001 volt-ampere reactive (1 mvar = 0.001 var). Millivars are commonly used to describe smaller amounts of reactive power, such as in small electronic devices or localized power systems.
Kilovolt-ampere reactive (kVAR) represents 1,000 volt-amperes reactive. Specifically, 1 kilovar is equal to 1,000 volt-amperes reactive (1 kvar = 1,000 var). Kilovars are commonly used to describe medium-scale reactive power, such as in industrial equipment and commercial buildings.
Megavolt-ampere reactive (MVAR) represents 1 million volt-amperes reactive. Specifically, 1 megavar is equal to 1 million volt-amperes reactive (1 Mvar = 1,000,000 var). Megavars are commonly used to describe large-scale reactive power in power plants and large electrical systems.
Gigavolt-ampere reactive (GVAR) represents 1 billion volt-amperes reactive. Specifically, 1 gigavar is equal to 1 billion volt-amperes reactive (1 Gvar = 1,000,000,000 var). Gigavars are commonly used to describe extremely large-scale reactive power, such as in entire power grids or international power systems.
