Imaginary power; i.e., the power that flows into a reactive circuit. "Kilo" means thousands; "var" is short for volt-ampere reactive. Since it measures power, you could just as well use kilowatts.

What is relation between kw and kvar?

Kilowatts (kW) measure real power, which is the actual power consumed by electrical devices to perform work. Kilovars (kVAR), on the other hand, measure reactive power, which is used to maintain the electric and magnetic fields in inductive and capacitive components. The relationship between kW and kVAR is important in understanding power factor, as they combine to define the apparent power (measured in kVA) in an AC circuit, through the equation: ( \text{kVA}^2 = \text{kW}^2 + \text{kVAR}^2 ). A higher kVAR can indicate inefficiencies in a system, requiring correction to optimize power usage.
