How to convert Volt to Kilovolt (V to kV)
To convert Volt to Kilovolt, multiply by 0.001. The formula is Volt × 0.001 = Kilovolt. See the example below.
1 Volt = 1 × 0.001 = 0.001 Kilovolts
Volt is a unit of measurement for electric potential. By definition, difference in electric potential across a wire is considered to be one volt when an electric current of one ampere dissipates one watt of power. The symbol for Volt is V.
Kilovolt is a unit of measurement for electric potential. Kilovolt is multiple of electric potential unit volt. One kilovolt is equal to 1000 volts. The symbol for Kilovolt is kV.
