Strictly speaking, you can't convert any parameter to another, you need at least a third component to do a reference.

You can only do that when working with scales (orders of magnitude), inverses or equivalences obtained by the use of a constant (wavelenght = speed of light/ freq.).

If you're try to know power factor correction capacitor values, do a search on that matter.

Eg. 117KVAR capacitors connected as star in 11KV side. Phase voltage =11000/1.732 is acting across each capacitor(6351V). The capacitive reactance Xc = 1/(2x3.14xfxc). Xc is given in ohms . Now Xc of 117KVAR = (6351)^2/117000. =344.74 = 2x3.14xfxc. c=344.74/(2x3.14x50). =1.09F.
