About Kilovolts per centimetre
The kilovolt per centimetre (kV/cm) equals exactly 10⁵ V/m = 100 kV/m, the practical unit for high-voltage insulation breakdown tests, gas discharge thresholds, and electrostatic process engineering. Air breakdown at standard conditions is about 30 kV/cm; transformer mineral oil withstands 10-20 kV/cm; XLPE power cable insulation is rated 20-40 kV/cm; electrostatic paint spraying operates at 5-15 kV/cm. 1 kV/cm = 10⁵ V/m.
About Statvolts per centimetre
The statvolt per centimetre (statV/cm) is the electric field unit of the CGS-Gaussian system, equal to c / 10⁴ V/m where c = 299 792 458 m/s, giving exactly 29 979.2458 V/m. It is the natural field unit for Gaussian-CGS electrostatics; the field at 1 cm from a 1-statcoulomb point charge in vacuum is exactly 1 statV/cm; Gaussian-system formulas for Coulomb's law and dielectric polarisation use statV/cm without a 4πε₀ factor. 1 statV/cm ≈ 29.979 kV/m.
