Convert Kilovolts per metre to Volts per metre
Convert Kilovolts per metre (kV/m) to Volts per metre (V/m) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
V/m = kV/m × 1000
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 Volts per metre
The volt per metre (V/m) is the SI coherent unit of electric field strength, equal to 1 N/C = 1 kg·m·A⁻¹·s⁻³. The fair-weather atmospheric surface electric field averages 100-200 V/m; a 1 W isotropic antenna produces about 5.5 V/m at 1 m; thunderstorm clouds build surface fields of 10 000-100 000 V/m before lightning discharge. 1 V/m = 1 N/C.
