Megavolt-Ampere Reactive [MVAR] to Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive [kVAR] Converter

Quick Reference

1 Megavolt-Ampere Reactive (MVAR) = 1000 Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive (kVAR)

1 Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive (kVAR) = 0.001 Megavolt-Ampere Reactive (MVAR)

How to Convert Megavolt-Ampere Reactive to Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive

1 MVAR = 1000 kVAR
1 kVAR = 0.001 MVAR

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

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

↔ Convert Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive to Megavolt-Ampere Reactive

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.

Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive

Definition: A kilovolt-ampere reactive (kVAR) is a unit of measurement for reactive power, equal to 1000 VAR (Volt-Amperes Reactive). Reactive power represents the energy that oscillates between the source and the load without performing any real work.

History/origin: The kilovolt-ampere reactive (kVAR) is based on the concept of reactive power in AC systems, which emerged in the late 19th century. The 'kilo-' prefix indicates a factor of 1000, making kVAR a more convenient unit for larger reactive power quantities.

Current use: kVARs are commonly used to measure and manage reactive power in industrial and commercial power systems, as well as in distribution networks. They are used in specifying the size of reactive power compensation equipment, such as capacitor banks and reactors, used to improve power factor and voltage stability.
