There are numerous ways of doing this; it depends on what information you are give to start with. One method is:


power = apparent power x cosine (phase angle)


reactive power = apparent power x sine (phase angle)


(where apparent power = supply voltage x load current)

How calculate kvar?

kvar can be calculated as follows the a product KVA andt the sine of the angle between the KVA and KW.


What is the KVAR if kva is 1750 and kw is 1225?

The KVAR will be 1249.75, the power factor is .7. KVAR = sqrt [ KVA^2 - kW^2 ]


How calculate kvar if p is 560 kw and kva is 700?

The formula is that kW^2 + kVAR^2 equals kVA^2 or if you prefer, the kW and the kVAR are the two sides of a right angled triangle and the kVA is the hypotenuse. So here you have a 3-4-5 triangle times 140, in other words 420-560-700, and the kVAR is 420.


What is the Formula to calculate KVAR?

{| |- | capacitance of the capacitor is mentioned in KVAR. Formula : KVAR = KW*tan@ FOR tan@, First note the power factor & KW without connecting capacitor. The noted power factor is in cos@.Convert the cos@ value in tan@. for ex. If power factor is 0.6, KW = 200 cos@ = 0.6 cos-1 (0.6) = 53.1 tan (53.1) = 1.333 200*1.333 = 266.6 KVAR if you use 266 KVAR capacitor, Then the power factor improves to unity (1.000). |}


Convert 800kvar to kw?

The same way, as you convert Appels to Carrots ........... There is a formula: KVAr = KVA / KW or cos=KW/KVA > Yes, we are treating KW, KVA, & KVAr as the 3 sides in a 90 deg TRIANGLE ! KW= vertical katede KVAr = horizontal katede KVA = hypotenuse


What is Kvr?

kV is kilovolts, kW is kilowatts, kVA is kilovolt amps and kVAR is kilovolt-amps reactive. A common formula is kVA-squared = kW-squared + kVAR-squared.


How does kvar work?

kvar can be calculated as follows the a product KVA andt the sine of the angle between the KVA and KW.


How do you calculate kvar from micro-farad?

kvar = kva*sin@


How do you calculate KVAR from micro farads?

kvar = kva*sin@


Why alternators are measured in Kva but not in KW?

Depending upon the connected load ( R, RL, RC or RLC) with a transformer, the power goes ou from a transformer may be of two types: 1. Active Power; measured in kW 2. Reactive Power; measured in kVAR If the rating will be in kW, then kVAR rating would not be accounted but if the rating is in kVA then it is possible for us to calculate the total active and reactive current as well as the powers, at a particular system voltage!


How many kVA equal kvar?

For normal power factors (pf=80%), you have 0.8 kW for every kva. In general however, kW = pf x kVA. Where pf is the power factor, it is the cosine of the angular difference between the voltage and the current of a circuit in alternating current circuits.


What will happen when kvar is greater than kw?

When reactive power (kVAR) is greater than real power (kW), it indicates that the electrical system is predominantly inductive, and there may be issues with power factor. This can lead to inefficiencies, increased losses in the system, and potential penalties from utility companies for low power factor. Additionally, excessive kVAR can cause voltage instability and strain on electrical equipment, potentially leading to failure. Proper power factor correction may be necessary to balance the reactive and real power.
