www.burntec.com Note: When calculating KVAR, the KVAR accuracy greatly depends on V, A and KW measurement accuracy (especially when PF is very close to 1). To get a more accurate value when PF is greater than 0.91 ( φ < 25 ° ), use the following equation for a pure sine wave PF = KVA (Apparent Power): KVA = 1000...
