Convert Kilovolts per metre to Microvolts per metre
Convert Kilovolts per metre (kV/m) to Microvolts per metre (µV/m) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
µV/m = kV/m × 1000000000
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 Microvolts per metre
The microvolt per metre (µV/m) equals 10⁻⁶ V/m, the standard unit for the electric component of weak radio-frequency fields measured far from transmitters. GPS L1 signals arrive at Earth's surface at about 4 µV/m; FM broadcast receivers require a minimum of 10-50 µV/m for acceptable reception; regulatory RF exposure limits for base stations are typically set in the range 1-100 µV/m. 1 µV/m = 10⁻⁶ V/m.
