Kilovolts per meter to megavolts per meter converter
Convert kilovolts per meter (kV/m) to megavolts per meter (MV/m). Calculate any value, follow the unit-factor steps and check a conversion table.
Updated · How we checkUse a decimal point, such as 2.5. Enter a value in kV/m; the result is in MV/m.
Formula
Worked example
Convert 1 kV/m to MV/m:
1 kV/m ≈ 0.001 MV/m
Multiply your kV/m value by the factor above. The calculator uses the full conversion factor before rounding the displayed answer.

What kilovolts per meter measure
Kilovolts per meter (kV/m) represent electric field strength. One unit equals 10^3 V/m. Electric field strength can be expressed as potential gradient in volts per meter.
Reading the result in megavolts per meter
Megavolts per meter (MV/m) represent electric field strength. One unit equals 10^6 V/m. Electric field strength can be expressed as potential gradient in volts per meter.
Where this conversion helps
Scale an electric-field value while keeping its distance reference fixed. Field strength is not voltage alone. Geometry matters, and a unit conversion does not establish exposure or insulation safety.
How the scale changes
The input unit has a factor of 1e3 V/m; the output unit has a factor of 1e6 V/m. Multiply the entered number by the input factor, then divide by the output factor. The physical quantity stays the same while its numerical representation changes.
Reading very small or large results
Scientific notation keeps very small and large values readable: 2.5e-6 means 0.0000025. The converter calculates with 50 significant digits internally and displays up to 10. Exact unit definitions do not remove uncertainty from the original measurement.
