Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
mA = kA × 1000000

Multiply any value in kiloamperes by 1000000 to obtain the value in milliamperes.

Worked example

Convert 1 kA to mA.

  1. 01Start with 1 kA.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 1000000 = 1.00000e+6 mA.
Result1 kA = 1.00000e+6 mA

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from kA to mA?
1 kA equals 1000000 mA. To convert, multiply the value in kiloamperes by 1000000.
How do I convert 1 kA to mA?
1 kA = 1.00000e+6 mA. For any value, multiply by 1000000.
How do I convert mA back to kA?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1e-6. So 1 mA = 1e-6 kA.
When would I need to convert kiloampere to milliampere?
Current conversions between kA and mA appear in motor and cable sizing, instrumentation loop design (4–20 mA), battery characterisation and electronics. Amperes are standard for power circuits; milliamperes and microamperes are the working units for signal conditioning and sensor outputs.
Is the conversion exact?
Yes. Both kA and mA are defined by exact SI relationships, so the displayed factor is exact (any rounding shown is only for display).
