Let Q be reactive power of Capacitor. Note Q is taken as negative as Capacitors generate VARs. The formula to compute Q is:
Q= -(V2 / X) Vars
where V is the rms voltage applied across the Capacitor and X is the reactance of the Capacitor which can be found using:
X = -1/ w*C Ohms
w = 2*pi*f radians/sec and C is the capacitance. So Q would be
Q= -V2 * w * C
For example 220 Volts RMS at 60 Hz is applied to a capacitor of 40 micro Farad Capacitor,
The Q delivered by the capacitor would be:
Q=-(2202 )*(2*pi*60)*(40*10-6 ) = -663.5 VARS (note it is delivering so negative)

How do you size a ac condenser for a home?
There is only one way to properly size an ac unit or a furnace. That is by performing a load calculation. This is a process that takes into account the construction features of the home. It is also based on weather data for the specific location of the home. For more information you can click on the load calculation page at http://www.hvac-for-beginners.com

How is VAR controlled?
Var is controlled by adding inductors or capacitors in parallel with loads requiring reactive power. By adding a capacitor of proper size in parallel with a inductive load results in the load drawing VAR from the capacitor instead of the source.
Why a capacitor does not accept AC?
A capacitor conducts AC but do not conduct DC because it is meant to store charge.
Do ac capacitor have polarity?
no
How does capacitor discharge while ac supply is on?
For part of the AC voltage wave, the capacitor will be above the source voltage, and will discharge until the AC voltage wave increases above the capacitor's stored voltage.
What is ac ground?
If a circuit is grounded through a capacitor it is referred to as AC ground because ac signal can pass through the capacitor DC level is blocked
Can capacitor store charge from ac source?
Yes. A capacitor stores charge from any source, including AC.The difference between DC and AC, however, is that the capacitor will be constantly changing in charge, in step with the AC. Due to the nature of the capacitor, the current through the capacitor will lead the voltage by some amount, depending on capacitance and resistance. {In the ideal case of a perfect capacitor, conductors, and AC power source, the current will lead the voltage by 90 degrees phase angle.}This is called capacitive reactance.Another way for a capacitor to store charge from an AC source, of course, is to place a rectifier diode in front of the capacitor. This, then, becomes an AC to DC converter.
How a capacitor steps down ac?
A capacitor doesn't step down AC voltage, that's what a transformer does! It really can't, no matter what the circumstances.
Why ac pass by capacitor as it has infinite resistance?
ac passes by repeatedly charging and discharging the capacitor. when you study ac circuit analysis, you will find out about impedance and reactance, which will allow you to compute how ac behaves in capacitors and inductors.
What is the var meter?
A VAR Meter is used to measure Reactive Power in AC Circuits - Pure reactive components dissipate zero power, which makes sense in a DC circuit, as a capacitor passes no DC current and an inductor displaces no voltage. Yet, in an AC circuit, the reactive components "seem" to dissipate power, as current passes through the capacitor and the inductor sees a voltage drop. This counterfeit power is called "reactive power" and is measured not in Watts, but in VARs (Volt-Amps-Reactive). Its mathematical formula symbol is "Q".

How does an ac curcuit work if current cant flow through a capacitor?
AC current can flow through a capacitor, it's DC current that can't
Can we use AC capacitor in surge suppression circuit DC?
A capacitor is a capacitor, no matter what circuits you use it in. There is no difference between one used in AC and one in DC, except perhaps the size that is appropriate.
How can I test a capacitor on an AC unit?
To test a capacitor on an AC unit, you can use a multimeter set to the capacitance setting. Disconnect the capacitor from the unit, discharge it, and then place the multimeter leads on the capacitor terminals. The reading should match the capacitance rating on the capacitor. If the reading is significantly lower, the capacitor may be faulty and in need of replacement.
