Conversion Formula

kV = mV × 1.000000000e-6

About Millivolts

The millivolt (mV) equals 10⁻³ V, the everyday scale of biomedical and electrochemical measurements. ECG R-wave peaks are 0.5-3 mV; a silicon p-n junction has a forward voltage of about 600 mV; pH electrodes produce roughly 59.2 mV per pH unit (Nernst equation at 25 °C); lithium-ion cells have an end-of-discharge cutoff at 2 700-3 000 mV. 1 mV = 10⁻³ V = 10³ µV.

About Kilovolts

The kilovolt (kV) equals 10³ V, used in high-voltage power supplies, X-ray machines, and electricity distribution. Dental and medical X-ray tubes operate at 60-120 kV; CRT television picture tubes required 20-30 kV for the final anode; distribution transformers step down from transmission lines at 11-33 kV to the local grid. Tesla coils generate sparks at tens to hundreds of kilovolts. 1 kV = 10³ V = 10⁻³ MV.
