When a switchboard reads a negative kVAR (kilovolt-ampere reactive), it indicates that the system is supplying reactive power back to the grid or load rather than consuming it. This typically occurs when the system is overcompensated for reactive power, often due to the presence of capacitors that exceed the inductive load requirements. Negative kVAR readings suggest that the power factor is leading, which can have implications for efficiency and utility charges.

kvar can be calculated as follows the a product KVA andt the sine of the angle between the KVA and KW.
{| |- | 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). |}
To calculate the reactive power (kVAR) for a 30 hp motor, first convert horsepower to kilowatts using the formula: 1 hp ≈ 0.746 kW, so 30 hp is approximately 22.36 kW. Then, determine the power factor (PF) of the motor, typically around 0.8 for industrial motors. You can calculate the kVAR using the formula: kVAR = kW × √(1 - PF²). For a 30 hp motor with a power factor of 0.8, the kVAR would be approximately 13.8 kVAR.
It depends upon at how much voltage level 400 kvar capacitor bank is used.
A negative KVAR reading can be eliminated by adding an inductor to the circuit.

Kvar = Kilo Volt Amp Reactance.
The KVAR will be 1249.75, the power factor is .7. KVAR = sqrt [ KVA^2 - kW^2 ]
kvar = kva*sin@
KVAR - FM - was created in 2008.
kvar = kva*sin@
Kvar stands for killo volt amp reactance.
