In this article I will show you how to convert 5 volt-amperes reactive into megavolt-amperes reactive. Throughout the explanation below I might also call it 5 var to mgvar. They are the same thing!
How to Convert Volt-amperes reactive to Megavolt-amperes reactive
A volt-ampere reactive is smaller than a megavolt-ampere reactive. I know that a var is smaller than a mgvar 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 5 volt-amperes reactive into megavolt-amperes reactive, we use a conversion factor to get the answer.
The conversion factor for var to mgvar is:
Now that we know what the conversion factor is, we can easily calculate the conversion of 5 var to mgvar by multiplying 1.0E-6 by the number of volt-amperes reactive we have, which is 5.
So, the answer to the question "what is 5 volt-amperes reactive in megavolt-amperes reactive?" is 5.0E-6 mgvar.

Best Conversion Unit for 5 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 5 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 5 var is volt-amperes reactive and the amount is 5 var.
