Volt-amperes reactive
In alternating-current power transmission and distribution, volt-amperes reactive (VARs) are the product of the rms voltage and current, or the apparent power, multiplied by the sine of the phase angle between the voltage and the current. Or in mathematical terms, the reactive power Q, (measured in units of volt-amperes reactive or VARs), is given by
