Kilovolts to Volts Converter
1 kilovolt = 1,000 volts
1 kilovolt equals 1,000 volts
How to convert kilovolts to volts
Voltage prefixes scale the same electric potential difference. A unit conversion preserves whether the reported voltage is RMS, peak, peak-to-peak or DC.
V = kV × 1000One kilovolt is 1000 volts, so a single multiplication converts any value.
10,000 V = 10 × 1000Kilovolts to volts conversion table

Sources and precision
Table results are rounded to 8 significant digits; formula constants may be rounded to 10. Worked example answers use 6 significant digits. The converter starts at 6 significant digits and lets you change display precision. Calculations use the stored factors without intermediate rounding. Exact unit definitions do not make an input measurement more precise; conventional and measured factors follow the assumptions stated here.
