Understanding Voltage Conversion

Converting Kilovolts to Megavolts

To convert kilovolts (kV) to megavolts (MV), divide the number of kilovolts by 1,000. This conversion is based on the metric system prefixes where:

  • 1 megavolt (MV) = 1,000 kilovolts (kV)
  • 1 kilovolt (kV) = 0.001 megavolts (MV)

Common Applications

Voltage measurements in kilovolts and megavolts are commonly used in:

  • High-voltage power transmission lines
  • Large industrial equipment
  • Scientific research facilities
  • Particle accelerators
  • X-ray and other medical equipment
