Formula
Formula
kV = MV × 1000
Multiply any value in megavolts by 1000 to obtain the value in kilovolts.
Worked example
Convert 1 MV to kV.
- 01Start with 1 MV.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 1000 = 1000 kV.
Result1 MV = 1000 kV

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