Convert Kilovolts per metre to Megavolts per metre
Convert Kilovolts per metre (kV/m) to Megavolts per metre (MV/m) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
MV/m = kV/m × 0.001
About Kilovolts per metre
The kilovolt per metre (kV/m) equals 10³ V/m, the standard unit for power-frequency electric field safety limits and environmental surveys near high-voltage infrastructure. ICNIRP occupational exposure limit for 50 Hz electric fields is 10 kV/m; directly under a 400 kV transmission line the surface field reaches 10-15 kV/m; the Earth's fair-weather atmospheric field averages 0.1-0.2 kV/m. 1 kV/m = 10³ V/m.
About Megavolts per metre
The megavolt per metre (MV/m) equals 10⁶ V/m, the scale for accelerating gradients in particle accelerators, internal fields in semiconductor devices, and piezoelectric actuator operation. RF linear accelerator cavities achieve 20-100 MV/m; CMOS gate-oxide fields at 1.8 V across 2 nm SiO₂ are about 900 MV/m; piezoelectric stack actuators operate at 1-3 MV/m. 1 MV/m = 10⁶ V/m.
