In this article I will show you how to convert 395 kilovolt-amperes reactive into gigavolt-amperes reactive. Throughout the explanation below I might also call it 395 kvar to gvar. They are the same thing!
How to Convert Kilovolt-amperes reactive to Gigavolt-amperes reactive
A kilovolt-ampere reactive is smaller than a gigavolt-ampere reactive. I know that a kvar is smaller than a gvar 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 395 kilovolt-amperes reactive into gigavolt-amperes reactive, we use a conversion factor to get the answer.
The conversion factor for kvar to gvar is:
Now that we know what the conversion factor is, we can easily calculate the conversion of 395 kvar to gvar by multiplying 1.0E-6 by the number of kilovolt-amperes reactive we have, which is 395.
So, the answer to the question "what is 395 kilovolt-amperes reactive in gigavolt-amperes reactive?" is 0.000395 gvar.
