Volts to Kilovolts Converter
1 volt = 0.001 kilovolts
1 volt equals 0.001 kilovolts
How to convert volts to kilovolts
Voltage prefixes scale the same electric potential difference. A unit conversion preserves whether the reported voltage is RMS, peak, peak-to-peak or DC.
kV = V ÷ 1000One kilovolt corresponds to 1000 volts, so divide by that figure. Displayed constants may be rounded; the converter uses the stored factor before rounding the result.
0.01 kV = 10 ÷ 1000Volts to kilovolts conversion table

voltV
The SI derived unit of electric potential difference.
kilovoltkV
One thousand volts. Used for transmission lines and ignition systems.
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.
