When reactive power (kVAR) is greater than real power (kW), it indicates that the electrical system is predominantly inductive, and there may be issues with power factor. This can lead to inefficiencies, increased losses in the system, and potential penalties from utility companies for low power factor. Additionally, excessive kVAR can cause voltage instability and strain on electrical equipment, potentially leading to failure. Proper power factor correction may be necessary to balance the reactive and real power.
