what is the difference between the Kvar and farads, Rating
on Power capacitor is for eg: x kvar, and normal capacitor
is eg: x farads.

what is the relation between these two?

Answer Posted / muthuvel

kvar-kilo volt ampere with reactive component
farads-unit for capacitor

a set of x farad capacitor can develop y kvar capacitor bank
for power factor correction.
kvar-unit of reactive power developed by capacitor bank for
power factor correction

kva2=kw2+kvar2

Is This Answer Correct ?    3 Yes 2 No
