Conversion Formula
kV/cm = µV/m × 1.000000000e-11
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.
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.
