Why does the ION Meter read negative kVAR?

When your ION Meter is reading negative kVAR, kindly check the Power factor value on the meter.

If the power factor is leading and you have Capacitive load, it is possible to have negative kVAR reading as per IEEE standard sign convention

An example of these reading are shown below

For more information on this topic please refer to the user guide of your specific ION Meter.
