Formula
Formula
V = kV × 1000
Multiply any value in kilovolts by 1000 to obtain the value in volts.
Worked example
Convert 11 kV to V.
- 01Start with 11 kV.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 11 × 1000 = 11000 V.
Result11 kV = 11000 V

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from kV to V?
1 kV equals 1000 V. To convert, multiply the value in kilovolts by 1000.
How do I convert 1 kV to V?
1 kV = 1000 V. For any value, multiply by 1000.
How do I convert V back to kV?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.001. So 1 V = 0.001 kV.
When would I need to convert kilovolt to volt?
Voltage conversions between kV and V 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 V are defined by exact SI relationships, so the displayed factor is exact (any rounding shown is only for display).
