Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive Hour [kVARh] to Volt-Ampere Reactive Hour [VARh] Converter
Quick Reference
1 Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive Hour (kVARh) = 1000 Volt-Ampere Reactive Hour (VARh)
1 Volt-Ampere Reactive Hour (VARh) = 0.001 Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive Hour (kVARh)
How to Convert Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive Hour to Volt-Ampere Reactive Hour
1 kVARh = 1000 VARh
1 VARh = 0.001 kVARh
To convert Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive Hour to Volt-Ampere Reactive Hour, multiply the value by 1000. To convert Volt-Ampere Reactive Hour back to Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive Hour, divide by 1000.
Example: convert 10 kVARh to VARh:
10 kVARh = 10 x 1000 = 10000 VARh
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.
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.
