centivolt to kilovolt
Convert centivolt (cV) to kilovolt (kV). Use an editable voltage converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 cV = 0.00001 kV
Conversion formula
One centivolt equals 0.00001 kilovolt. Multiply your value in centivolt by this factor to get kilovolt. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 centivolt:5 × 0.00001 = 0.00005 kV

About these measurements
Voltage is electric potential difference.
The base reference used here is the volt. One centivolt is 0.01 base units; one kilovolt is 1,000 base units.
Important distinctions
This converts units, not RMS, peak, or peak-to-peak representations.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert cV to kV?
Multiply the quantity in cV by 0.00001. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the kilovolt to centivolt converter.
