Can someone remind me of the limits of reverse feeding/loading power transformers? e.g. 600 VAC to 208 VAC stepdown; change to reversing it. I read there are limits to what can be loaded in reverse on...

I have read many articles ref kVAR and that there is no relationship to almost no required horsepower to deliver kVAR. I am looking...
