How to Convert Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive to Gigavolt-Ampere ReactiveGigavolt-Ampere Reactive

1 kVAR = 0.000001 GVAR
1 GVAR = 1000000 kVAR

Example: convert 46 kVAR to GVAR:
46 kVAR = 46 x 0.000001 = 0.000046 GVAR

Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive

Definition: A kilovolt-ampere reactive (kVAR) is a unit of measurement for reactive power, equal to 1000 VAR (Volt-Amperes Reactive). Reactive power represents the energy that oscillates between the source and the load without performing any real work.

History/origin: The kilovolt-ampere reactive (kVAR) is based on the concept of reactive power in AC systems, which emerged in the late 19th century. The 'kilo-' prefix indicates a factor of 1000, making kVAR a more convenient unit for larger reactive power quantities.

Current use: kVARs are commonly used to measure and manage reactive power in industrial and commercial power systems, as well as in distribution networks. They are used in specifying the size of reactive power compensation equipment, such as capacitor banks and reactors, used to improve power factor and voltage stability.

Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive

Definition: A gigavolt-ampere reactive (GVAR) is a unit of measurement for reactive power, equal to 1,000,000,000 VAR (Volt-Amperes Reactive).

History/origin: The gigavolt-ampere reactive (GVAR) is based on the concept of reactive power in AC systems. The 'giga-' prefix indicates a factor of 1,000,000,000, making GVAR suitable for extremely large reactive power quantities.

Current use: GVARs are used to measure and manage reactive power in very large power systems and transmission networks. It is typically used to specify the size of reactive power compensation equipment in national-level transmission systems.
