Math & Numbers
Capacitor Reactive Power Calculator (Q_c = 2πfCU²)
Compute the reactive power produced by a known capacitor: Q_c = 2π·f·C·U². Supports single-phase, three-phase star (Y) and delta (Δ) connections. Returns Q_c in var/kvar, capacitive reactance Xc, and capacitor current Ic. Complementary to the power-factor-correction tool (which sizes a capacitor for a target cosφ).
Quick start
Call this tool from your code in three languages.
curl -X POST 'https://api.elysiatools.com/en/api/tools/capacitor-reactive-power' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"connection":"single","capacitance":10,"capacitanceUnit":"µF","frequency":50,"voltage":230,"decimalPlaces":4}'API reference
Send a POST request with your inputs as JSON. File parameters require a separate upload first.
