L

A symbol used to express inductance. The unit of measure is a “Henry”.

KVAR

KVAR is the measure of additional reactive current flow which occurs when the voltage and current flow are not perfectly in phase.

kVA

1) Apparent Power expressed in Thousand Volt-Amps. 2) Kilovolt Ampere rating designates the output which a transformer can deliver at rated voltage and frequency without exceeding a specified temperature rise.

Knee-Point e.m.f.

Result of when a sinusoidal e.m.f. is applied to the secondary terminals of a current transformer is increased by 10% causes the exciting current to increase by 50%.
