Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive Hour [kVARh] to Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive Hour [GVARh] Converter

Quick Reference

1 Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive Hour (kVARh) = 1.0000e-6 Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive Hour (GVARh)

1 Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive Hour (GVARh) = 1000000 Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive Hour (kVARh)

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

1 kVARh = 1.0000e-6 GVARh
1 GVARh = 1000000 kVARh

To convert Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive Hour to Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive Hour, divide the value by 1000000 (equivalently, multiply by 1.0000e-6). To convert Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive Hour back to Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive Hour, multiply by 1000000.

Example: convert 10 kVARh to GVARh:
10 kVARh = 10 x 1.0000e-6 = 1.0000e-5 GVARh

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

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.

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.
