Kilovolts to Volts (kV to V) Converter

How to convert kilovolts to volts

FormulaV = kV × 1,000

Multiply the value in kilovolts by 1,000. To go the other way, multiply by 0.001 (or divide by 1,000).

A kilovolt is larger than a volt: one kilovolt contains 1,000 volts.

About the units

Kilovolt (kV)

The kilovolt (kV) is a unit of electric potential (voltage) in the International System of Units (SI). One kilovolt equals 1,000 volts (V).

Volt (V)

One joule per coulomb, or one watt per ampere.

Frequently asked questions

How many volts are in one kilovolt?

There are 1,000 volts in one kilovolt, and this value is exact by definition.

How do I convert kilovolts to volts?

Multiply the number of kilovolts by 1,000. For example, 10 kV × 1,000 = 10,000 V.

How many kilovolts are in one volt?

One volt equals 0.001 kilovolts. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 1,000.

What is 10 kilovolts in volts?

10 kV = 10,000 V.

Is this kV to V converter accurate?

Yes. Both units are defined exactly in terms of SI units, so the conversion factor is exact; results are shown to 12 significant figures by default and you can change precision in the converter. Calculations run in your browser using the same tested engine that generated this page.
