Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive Hour [GVARh] to Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive Hour [kVARh] Converter
Quick Reference
1 Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive Hour (GVARh) = 1000000 Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive Hour (kVARh)
1 Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive Hour (kVARh) = 1.0000e-6 Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive Hour (GVARh)
How to Convert Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive Hour to Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive Hour
1 GVARh = 1000000 kVARh
1 kVARh = 0.000001 GVARh
To convert Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive Hour to Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive Hour, multiply the value by 1000000. To convert Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive Hour back to Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive Hour, divide by 1000000.
Example: convert 10 GVARh to kVARh:
10 GVARh = 10 x 1000000 = 10000000 kVARh
Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive Hour
Definition: The gigavolt-ampere reactive hour (GVARh) is a unit of measurement for reactive energy in electrical systems. It represents the amount of reactive power (in gigavolt-amperes reactive, GVAR) consumed or supplied over a period of one hour. One GVARh is equal to 1000 MVARh.
History/origin: Similar to MVARh, GVARh emerged as a scaling of VARh to represent larger quantities of reactive energy. The 'giga' prefix signifies a billion VARh. It's a part of the evolution of electrical power measurement units to accommodate increasing power demands.
Current use: GVARh is typically used for very large-scale reactive power measurement and billing, often associated with major industrial facilities or transmission networks where reactive power flows are significant.
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.
