What does kVAr mean?

Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive (kVAr) is a unit used to measure reactive power in Alternating Current (AC) electrical systems.

Note:
Reactive power is a component of electrical power that flows back and forth between the source and the load without being consumed or converted into useful work. It arises due to the presence of inductance and capacitance in electrical circuits.
