Volt-Ampere Reactive Hour [VARh] to Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive Hour [GVARh] Converter

Quick Reference

1 Volt-Ampere Reactive Hour (VARh) = 1.0000e-9 Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive Hour (GVARh)

1 Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive Hour (GVARh) = 1000000000 Volt-Ampere Reactive Hour (VARh)

How to Convert Volt-Ampere Reactive Hour to Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive Hour

1 VARh = 1e-9 GVARh
1 GVARh = 1000000000 VARh

To convert Volt-Ampere Reactive Hour to Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive Hour, divide the value by 1000000000 (equivalently, multiply by 1.0000e-9). To convert Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive Hour back to Volt-Ampere Reactive Hour, multiply by 1000000000.

Example: convert 10 VARh to GVARh:
10 VARh = 10 x 1e-9 = 1e-8 GVARh

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.

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.
