Conversion Formula

V/in = mV/m × 2.540000000e-5

About Millivolts per metre

The millivolt per metre (mV/m) equals 10⁻³ V/m, used for medium-wave broadcast field-strength measurements and near-field EMC compliance testing. An AM broadcast tower at 1 km produces a field of roughly 100 mV/m; international AM service-area limits specify minimum field strengths of 3-10 mV/m; power-frequency (50/60 Hz) fields near overhead HV lines are a few mV/m. 1 mV/m = 10⁻³ V/m.

About Volts per inch

The volt per inch (V/in) equals exactly 1 / 0.0254 V/m ≈ 39.370 V/m, used in North American high-voltage insulation specifications, PCB design rules, and cable withstand-voltage testing. ANSI/IEEE standards quote insulation withstand voltages per inch of creepage distance; PCB high-voltage layout rules specify minimum clearances rated in V/in; US power-supply withstand tests may state a 1 000 V/in dielectric rating. 1 V/in ≈ 39.370 V/m.
