Kilovolts to volts
Type a value in kV to get it in V instantly.
100,000V
That's 4× as high as a railway line, while a transmission line is 4× higher. Ohm’s law: volts = amps × ohms.
Convert the other way: V to kV
What it means
How high is that?
Mains figures are nominal: 230 V in Europe and 120 V in North America, both varying by a few percent.
The math
How to convert kV to V
To convert kilovolts to volts, multiply by 1,000.
Example: 100 kV × 1,000 = 100,000 V.
In the other direction, 1 V = 0.001 kV.

About these units
Kilovolts (kV)
A thousand volts. Distribution lines, railways and x-ray tubes run at kilovolts.
Volts (V)
The SI unit of electrical potential. One volt drives one amp through one ohm.
