kVtoMV
Convert kilovolts (kV) to megavolts (MV).
Factor1 kV = 0.001 MV
Converter
kV
Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7
Result
MV
Rendered to 6 significant figures.
Formula
Formula
MV = kV × 0.001
Multiply any value in kilovolts by 0.001 to obtain the value in megavolts.
Worked example
Convert 1000 kV to MV.
- 01Start with 1000 kV.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1000 × 0.001 = 1 MV.
Result1000 kV = 1 MV

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from kV to MV?
1 kV equals 0.001 MV. To convert, multiply the value in kilovolts by 0.001.
How do I convert 1 kV to MV?
1 kV = 0.001 MV. For any value, multiply by 0.001.
How do I convert MV back to kV?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1000. So 1 MV = 1000 kV.
When would I need to convert kilovolt to megavolt?
Voltage conversions between kV and MV are routine in instrumentation, power-system analysis and electronics design. Volts and kilovolts dominate power-system documents (LV/MV/HV switchgear, motor ratings), while millivolts and microvolts appear on transducer datasheets, thermocouple signal chains and low-level analog measurements.
Is the conversion exact?
Yes. Both kV and MV are defined by exact SI relationships, so the displayed factor is exact (any rounding shown is only for display).
