Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive [GVAR] to Megavolt-Ampere Reactive [MVAR] Converter

Quick Reference

1 Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive (GVAR) = 1000 Megavolt-Ampere Reactive (MVAR)

1 Megavolt-Ampere Reactive (MVAR) = 0.001 Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive (GVAR)

How to Convert Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive to Megavolt-Ampere Reactive

1 GVAR = 1000 MVAR
1 MVAR = 0.001 GVAR

To convert Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive to Megavolt-Ampere Reactive, multiply the value by 1000. To convert Megavolt-Ampere Reactive back to Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive, divide by 1000.

Example: convert 10 GVAR to MVAR:
10 GVAR = 10 x 1000 = 10000 MVAR

↔ Convert Megavolt-Ampere Reactive to Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive

Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive

Definition: A gigavolt-ampere reactive (GVAR) is a unit of measurement for reactive power, equal to 1,000,000,000 VAR (Volt-Amperes Reactive).

History/origin: The gigavolt-ampere reactive (GVAR) is based on the concept of reactive power in AC systems. The 'giga-' prefix indicates a factor of 1,000,000,000, making GVAR suitable for extremely large reactive power quantities.

Current use: GVARs are used to measure and manage reactive power in very large power systems and transmission networks. It is typically used to specify the size of reactive power compensation equipment in national-level transmission systems.

Megavolt-Ampere Reactive

Definition: A megavolt-ampere reactive (MVAR) is a unit of measurement for reactive power, equal to 1,000,000 VAR (Volt-Amperes Reactive).

History/origin: The megavolt-ampere reactive (MVAR) is based on the concept of reactive power in AC systems. The 'mega-' prefix indicates a factor of 1,000,000, making MVAR suitable for very large reactive power quantities.

Current use: MVARs are used to measure and manage reactive power in large power systems and transmission networks. It is typically used to specify the size of reactive power compensation equipment used in transmission and distribution systems.
