    Visualize a horse pulling a Rail, running on one side of the track (not on rail track).
    Power required to move the car is the real power - KWH
    Effort of the horse is (total) apparent power -KVA.
    Due to sideways pull wasted effort of the horse is –
    non-working (reactive power) - KVAR.
    Depending on the load, power factor would vary and you can calculate KW = PF X KVA
    Google it for an explanation.
