Formula
Formula
mV = kV × 1000000
Multiply any value in kilovolts by 1000000 to obtain the value in millivolts.
Worked example
Convert 1 kV to mV.
- 01Start with 1 kV.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 1000000 = 1.00000e+6 mV.
Result1 kV = 1.00000e+6 mV

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from kV to mV?
1 kV equals 1000000 mV. To convert, multiply the value in kilovolts by 1000000.
How do I convert 1 kV to mV?
1 kV = 1.00000e+6 mV. For any value, multiply by 1000000.
How do I convert mV back to kV?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1e-6. So 1 mV = 1e-6 kV.
When would I need to convert kilovolt to millivolt?
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).
