hectovolt to megavolt
Convert hectovolt (hV) to megavolt (MV). Use an editable voltage converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 hV = 0.0001 MV
Conversion formula
One hectovolt equals 0.0001 megavolt. Multiply your value in hectovolt by this factor to get megavolt. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 hectovolt:5 × 0.0001 = 0.0005 MV

About these measurements
Voltage is electric potential difference.
The base reference used here is the volt. One hectovolt is 100 base units; one megavolt is 1,000,000 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 hV to MV?
Multiply the quantity in hV by 0.0001. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the megavolt to hectovolt converter.
