Instrument To Measure Kvar

Anyone know of any devices used to measure capacitance in kVAR and where to find information about them? I've been searching for a while now and haven't had much luck.
Thanks,
Morgan

You will have difficulty finding such a device because the KVAR of any given capacitor is dependent on the applied voltage and frequency.
If you wish to make a measurement, the best indication, is the current drawn at the required voltage and frequency.
Connect up your desired voltage, measure the current and multiply the voltage and current
