Voltage Converter: Convert Between Volts, Millivolts, Kilovolts, and More

Introduction

Voltage, or electrical potential difference, is fundamental in electronics and electrical engineering. Our voltage converter handles all common units.

Conversion Formulas and Factors

The volt is the SI derived unit:

1 mV = 0.001 V 1 �V = 0.000001 V 1 kV = 1000 V 1 MV = 1,000,000 V

Ohm's Law: V = I � R

For power: V = P / I

How to Use the Converter

Our voltage converter supports all standard units. For example, 5 V = 5000 mV.

Real-World Examples

Electronics: Arduino operates at 5 V = 5000 mV. Automotive: Car battery provides 12 V = 12,000 mV. Power: Transmission lines at 765 kV = 765,000 V.

Common Applications

• Electronics Design: Supply voltages for components
• Power Engineering: Transmission and distribution systems
• Automotive: Battery and alternator voltage levels
• Renewable Energy: Solar panel and inverter voltages
• Safety: Identifying hazardous voltage levels

Tips for Accurate Conversions

1. 1. Use mV for low-voltage electronics, kV for power systems
2. 2. Distinguish AC voltage (RMS) from DC voltage
3. 3. Three-phase line voltage differs from phase voltage by v3
