Formula
Formula
kV = nV × 1e-12
Multiply any value in nanovolts by 1e-12 to obtain the value in kilovolts.
Worked example
Convert 1e+12 nV to kV.
- 01Start with 1e+12 nV.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1e+12 × 1e-12 = 1 kV.
Result1e+12 nV = 1 kV

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from nV to kV?
1 nV equals 1e-12 kV. To convert, multiply the value in nanovolts by 1e-12.
How do I convert 1 nV to kV?
1 nV = 1e-12 kV. For any value, multiply by 1e-12.
How do I convert kV back to nV?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1e+12. So 1 kV = 1e+12 nV.
When would I need to convert nanovolt to kilovolt?
Voltage conversions between nV 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?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
