A kilovolt (kV) is one thousand volts (1 kV = 1,000 V). It is used in medium-to-high-voltage electrical systems such as power transmission and electrical substations.
A volt (V) is the unit of electric potential, electric potential difference, and electromotive force. It is the potential difference that would move one coulomb of charge through one joule of energy.
To convert kilovolts to volts, use the following formula:
1 kilovolt = 1,000 volts
The voltage in volts (V) is equal to the voltage in kilovolts (kV) multiplied by 1,000:
volts (V) = kilovolts (kV) × 1,000
Convert 1 kilovolt to volts:
1 kV = 1 × 1,000 = 1,000 volts
