decavolt to centivolt
Convert decavolt (daV) to centivolt (cV). Use an editable voltage converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 daV = 1,000 cV
Conversion formula
One decavolt equals 1,000 centivolt. Multiply your value in decavolt by this factor to get centivolt. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 decavolt:5 × 1,000 = 5,000 cV

About these measurements
Voltage is electric potential difference.
The base reference used here is the volt. One decavolt is 10 base units; one centivolt is 0.01 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 daV to cV?
Multiply the quantity in daV by 1,000. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the centivolt to decavolt converter.
