Technically, 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 VAr), is given by. Q = Vrms * Irms * sin(Ï)
A VAR may become a pure-play MSP or add managed services as a line of business to complement its VAR operation. Also see OEM (original equipment manufacturer), a company that includes hardware components from other companies in its own product.
