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.

How calculate kvar?
kvar can be calculated as follows the a product KVA andt the sine of the angle between the KVA and KW.
Which is greater 1kw equals equals KVA?
In the case of DC, and in AC when current and voltage are in phase, a volt-ampere is the same as a watt (and therefore, a kilo-volt-ampere is the same as a kW). In the case of AC, when current and voltage are NOT in phase, power = voltage x current x power factor; the power factor is the cosine of the angle between current and voltage, and it is always less than or equal to one. In such a case, a kVA would be less than a kW.
How many kw are 30 Mgw?
1 Megawatt = 1000 Kilowatts so 30 Mw = 30*1000 kw = 30,000 kw.
What does kw mean in measurements?
The correct symbol is 'kW', and it stands for 'kilowatt' which is the SI unit of power.
150 amps equals how many kw?
To convert amps to kilowatts (kW), you can use the formula: kW = (Amps × Volts) / 1000. For example, if you're using a standard voltage of 240 volts, then 150 amps would equal 36 kW (150 × 240 / 1000 = 36). If the voltage is different, just adjust the calculation accordingly.
