Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive [GVAR] to Millivolt-Ampere Reactive [mVAR] Converter

Quick Reference

1 Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive (GVAR) = 1.0000e+12 Millivolt-Ampere Reactive (mVAR)

1 Millivolt-Ampere Reactive (mVAR) = 1.0000e-12 Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive (GVAR)

How to Convert Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive to Millivolt-Ampere Reactive

1 GVAR = 1.0000e+12 mVAR
1 mVAR = 1.0000e-12 GVAR

To convert Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive to Millivolt-Ampere Reactive, multiply the value by 1.0000e+12. To convert Millivolt-Ampere Reactive back to Gigavolt-Ampere Reactive, divide by 1.0000e+12.

Example: convert 10 GVAR to mVAR:
10 GVAR = 10 x 1.0000e+12 = 1.0000e+13 mVAR

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.

Millivolt-Ampere Reactive

Definition: A millivolt-ampere reactive (mVAR) is a unit of measurement for reactive power, equal to one-thousandth of a VAR (Volt-Ampere Reactive). It is used to quantify smaller amounts of reactive power in AC electrical systems.

History/origin: The millivolt-ampere reactive (mVAR) is a derivative of the VAR (Volt-Ampere Reactive), which arose from the understanding of reactive power in AC systems in the late 19th century. The 'milli-' prefix denotes a factor of 10^-3, making mVAR suitable for measuring smaller reactive power quantities.

Current use: mVARs are used in applications where precise measurement of small reactive power quantities is needed, such as in electronic circuits, power electronic devices, and specialized equipment. They can also be used in detailed power system analysis and simulation studies.
