Good Day,

I am hoping that someone is kind enough to teach me how find the True Power in Watts when Reactive Power in VAR is given in a 3 Phase power 440 Volts system. I need to know the formula. Thanks in advance!

You don't know. It's like asking for a formula for how many gallons of gas you need if your car gets 25 miles to the gallon. The two are related, but you lack a piece of information to tie it all together.

In this case, you need either the power factor or the apparent power.
