Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive [kVAR] to Millivolt-Ampere Reactive [mVAR] Converter
Quick Reference
1 Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive (kVAR) = 1000000 Millivolt-Ampere Reactive (mVAR)
1 Millivolt-Ampere Reactive (mVAR) = 1.0000e-6 Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive (kVAR)
How to Convert Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive to Millivolt-Ampere Reactive
1 kVAR = 1000000 mVAR
1 mVAR = 0.000001 kVAR
To convert Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive to Millivolt-Ampere Reactive, multiply the value by 1000000. To convert Millivolt-Ampere Reactive back to Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive, divide by 1000000.
Example: convert 10 kVAR to mVAR:
10 kVAR = 10 x 1000000 = 10000000 mVAR
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.
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.
