How it’s calculated

V = kV × 1000

  • Multiply the value in kilovolts by 1000.
  • To go back, divide by 1000 (or multiply by 0.001).
  • 1 kV = 1,000 V · 1 V = 0.001 kV

Quick examples

1 kilovolt = 1,000 volts · 1 V = 0.001 kV

  • 1 kilovolt = 1,000 volts
  • 5 kilovolts = 5,000 volts
  • 10 kilovolts = 10,000 volts
  • 25 kilovolts = 25,000 volts
  • 100 kilovolts = 100,000 volts
