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.
