Formula
Formula
kV = μV × 1e-9
Multiply any value in microvolts by 1e-9 to obtain the value in kilovolts.
Worked example
Convert 1e+9 μV to kV.
- 01Start with 1e+9 μV.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1e+9 × 1e-9 = 1 kV.
Result1e+9 μV = 1 kV

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from μV to kV?
1 μV equals 1e-9 kV. To convert, multiply the value in microvolts by 1e-9.
How do I convert 1 μV to kV?
1 μV = 1e-9 kV. For any value, multiply by 1e-9.
How do I convert kV back to μV?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1e+9. So 1 kV = 1e+9 μV.
When would I need to convert microvolt to kilovolt?
Voltage conversions between μV 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 μV and kV are defined by exact SI relationships, so the displayed factor is exact (any rounding shown is only for display).
