Volt-Ampere Reactive Hour [VARh] to Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive Hour [kVARh] Converter

Quick Reference

1 Volt-Ampere Reactive Hour (VARh) = 0.001 Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive Hour (kVARh)

1 Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive Hour (kVARh) = 1000 Volt-Ampere Reactive Hour (VARh)

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

1 VARh = 0.001 kVARh
1 kVARh = 1000 VARh

To convert Volt-Ampere Reactive Hour to Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive Hour, divide the value by 1000 (equivalently, multiply by 0.001). To convert Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive Hour back to Volt-Ampere Reactive Hour, multiply by 1000.

Example: convert 10 VARh to kVARh:
10 VARh = 10 x 0.001 = 0.01 kVARh

↔ Convert Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive Hour to Volt-Ampere Reactive Hour

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.
