In this article I will show you how to convert 315 volt-amperes reactive into kilovolt-amperes reactive. Throughout the explanation below I might also call it 315 var to kvar. They are the same thing!
How to Convert Volt-amperes reactive to Kilovolt-amperes reactive
A volt-ampere reactive is smaller than a kilovolt-ampere reactive. I know that a var is smaller than a kvar because of something called conversion factors.
Put very simply, a conversion factor is a number that can be used to change one set of units to another, by multiplying or dividing it. So when we need to convert 315 volt-amperes reactive into kilovolt-amperes reactive, we use a conversion factor to get the answer.
The conversion factor for var to kvar is:
Now that we know what the conversion factor is, we can easily calculate the conversion of 315 var to kvar by multiplying 0.001 by the number of volt-amperes reactive we have, which is 315.
So, the answer to the question "what is 315 volt-amperes reactive in kilovolt-amperes reactive?" is 0.315 kvar.

Best Conversion Unit for 315 var
Sometimes when you work with conversions from one unit to another, the numbers can get a little confusing. Especially when dealing with really large numbers.
I've also calculated what the best unit of measurement is for 315 var.
To determine which unit is best, I decided to define that as being the unit of measurement which is as low as possible, without going below 1. Smaller numbers are more easily understood and can make it easier for you to understand the measurement.
The best unit of measurement I have found for 315 var is volt-amperes reactive and the amount is 315 var.
