Voltage Converter

This voltage converter features 22 units of electrical voltage. This enables arbitrary conversion between different units. All voltage values are converted in real time and displayed with up to 20 decimal places, ensuring sufficient accuracy.

Two Steps to Your Result

Our voltage converter offers several input fields, each displaying the current unit symbol (for example, V, mV or kV). To change a unit, simply click on the unit symbol and select your preferred measurement from the dropdown menu.

Once you have selected the desired units in the voltage converter, simply enter the value you want to convert. You can input numbers into any of the available fields. As soon as you enter a value in one field, all other fields will automatically update and display the converted results. Both the entered value and the calculated results are automatically rounded to the predefined number of decimal places.

At the bottom of the voltage converter, you will find two green buttons. The button on the right resets the converter to its default state. This restores all units, values, and decimal settings to their original configuration. The button on the left clears the current inputs by setting all values to zero, while keeping your selected units and decimal settings unchanged.

Conversion table for voltage units

Electrical voltage is always specified with a value and the corresponding unit. A conversion table can be used to determine the value of the known voltage in another unit. For example: How many volts [V] are in 1 kilovolt [kV]?. In most cases, a conversion table is used to determine the conversion factor or calculation method for converting one unit of electrical voltage into another. However, the tables are usually very confusing and difficult for inexperienced users to understand.

The following tool is available as a solution to this problem, allowing conversion factors and calculation methods to be queried directly from the conversion table. The conversion table covers a total of 22 internationally common units of electrical voltage.

Converting voltage units in everyday life

There are many units of electrical voltage that are rarely used in everyday life. These include, for example, hectovolt [hV], decivolt [dV] and statvolt [statV]. It is also rather unlikely that conversions will be made between a very small voltage unit and petavolts [PV]. For this reason, it is not necessary to know all conversion values by heart. However, there are voltage units that are used very frequently in everyday life. Examples include volt [V], kilovolt [kV], and megavolt [MV]. For these voltage units, it can be very helpful to know the calculation method and the conversion value by heart.

Converting volts and millivolts

Converting between volts [V] and millivolts [mV] is very simple. A conversion factor of 1,000 is used for the calculation. The value in volts [V] multiplied by 1,000 gives the value in millivolts [mV]. Dividing the value in millivolts [mV] by 1,000 gives the value in volts [V].

• Millivolts [mV] = volts [V] * 1,000
• Volts [V] = millivolts [mV] ÷ 1,000

Converting volts and kilovolts

Volts [V] and kilovolts [kV] belong to the metric system of units, which makes conversion very easy. A conversion value of 1,000 is used for the calculation. The value in kilovolts [kV] multiplied by 1,000 gives the value in volts [V]. Dividing the value in volts [V] by 1,000 gives the value in kilovolts [kV].

• Volts [V] = kilovolts [kV] * 1,000
• Kilovolts [kV] = volts [V] ÷ 1,000

Converting volts and megavolts

The prefix "mega" comes from the decimal system and is based on a power of ten with a value of 10⁶. This value can be used to convert between volts [V] and megavolts [MV]. The value in megavolts [MV] multiplied by 10⁶ gives the value in volts [V]. Dividing the value in volts [V] by 10⁶ gives the value in megavolts [MV].

• Volts [V] = megavolts [MV] * 10⁶
• Megavolts [MV] = volts [V] ÷ 10⁶

Convert megavolts and kilovolts

While the prefix "mega" corresponds to a value of 10⁶, "kilo" stands for a value of 10³. A megavolt [MV] is therefore a thousand times greater than a kilovolt [kV], which is also the conversion factor. The value in megavolts [MV] multiplied by 1,000 gives the value in kilovolts [kV]. Dividing the value in kilovolts [kV] by 1,000 gives the value in megavolts [MV].

• Kilovolt [kV] = megavolt [MV] * 1,000
• Megavolt [MV] = kilovolt [kV] ÷ 1,000
