what is the difference between KVAR & KVA ?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
KVA: For transformer the rating will be mentioned in KVA
b'coz real power are expressed in terms of voltage and
current not dependent on powerfactor.
KVAR: It is reactive apparant power ie., kVAr=kW*TAN PI

Answer / bindu
KVAR-Kilo Volt Ampere Reactive, it is mentioned for
Capacitor rating.
KVA-Kilo Volt Ampere,it is mentioned for Generator rating.

Answer / nkwocha obinna
KVA = V*I
KW = V*I*cos theta
KVAR = V*I*sine theta
kw is the real power
kva is the apparent power
kvar is the reactive power
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 9 Yes | 1 No |
Answer / arun
kva is apparant pawer which is used for transformer or generator rating
while kvar is reactive power kilo volt ampere reactive it does not do any work in the circuit only moves forth and back .
m i wrong ?
if yes suggest correct answer

Answer / venkatesh
from power triangle we have kva^2=kw^2+kvar^2
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 8 Yes | 5 No |
Answer / anand
KVAR is the reactive power utilised by the generators,
transformers, motors for producing magnetic flux
KW (true power) is the actual power or true power that
performs actual work
KVA ( Apparent power)is the vector summation of KW+KVAR
KVA=KW+KVAR

Answer / shriram gaur
KVA=V*I
this is used for measureing the total power fed into the
ckt, so generally used in defining the rating of the
transformer, also independent of PF.
KVAR - sqrt((KVA*KVA)-(KW*KW))
This is the correct relationship between the all three
power.

which part of transformer heats up the most and why? windings, core or oil .
what is reactive power?, why its measured in VA ? is it transient behavior of system?

What is Energy based relay coordination & time based relay co-ordination? In which type of distribution arrangement these methods are applicable?
Dear sir, we are getting voltage fluctuations suddenly for 2 or 3 minutes again it becomes normal. we checked each and every connection some times we are getting 110 volts like that from earth to neutral again it is reducing we are getting supply from 45 kva DG set give earthing properly.
what are the specifications we must look at to select a relay for any capacity motor?
10Hp, 3-phase, 415v, 50Hz induction motor. The above motor is to run on Star-Delta connection, so how do i make following hardware selection 1) MCB, 2) Contactor, 3) Wire Gage (Depending on P-P current or Line Current), 4) OLR, Please tell in detail how to do the above, so as to get the ans. of it even if the Hp rating changes.
i need of the bhel question papers along with answers and also give some website names for the downloading question (electrical and electronics engg question)please help me....
