kVA - The kVA, or Kilovolt-ampere, output rating designates the output which a transformer can deliver for a specified time at rated secondary voltage and rate frequency without exceeding the specified temperature rise (1 kVA = 1000 VA). Kvar - A term used to express the power rating of a capacitor. KiloVolt Ampere Reactance, expressed by the following formula... - Kvar = [2 x pi x f x c x kV x kV]/1000
where... pi = 3.14159 f = frequency (hertz) c = capacitance (in microfarads) kV = kilovolt
kW - Kilowatts. Real power delivered to a load (W x 1,000 VA). |
