How to Convert Volt-Ampere Reactive Hour to Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive HourKilovolt-Ampere Reactive Hour

1 VARh = 0.001 kVARh
1 kVARh = 1000 VARh

Example: convert 95 VARh to kVARh:
95 VARh = 95 x 0.001 = 0.095 kVARh

Volt-Ampere Reactive Hour

Definition: A volt-ampere reactive hour (VARh) is a unit of reactive energy. It represents the reactive power of one volt-ampere reactive (VAR) sustained for one hour.

History/origin: The VARh unit arose from the need to quantify reactive power in AC electrical systems. Reactive power is a component of apparent power that does not perform useful work but is necessary for the operation of inductive and capacitive loads.

Current use: VARh is used by utilities to measure and bill customers for reactive power consumption. It's also used to monitor and manage the stability of electrical grids.

Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive Hour

Definition: A kilovolt-ampere reactive hour (kVARh) is a unit of reactive energy equal to one thousand VARh. It represents a larger amount of reactive energy.

History/origin: Uses the SI prefix 'kilo-' to denote a factor of one thousand.

Current use: Used to measure and bill large industrial customers for reactive power consumption. Also used in power system studies and planning.
