Tensione convertita in Kilovolt

How it works

Formula
kV = V / 1000

La conversione da Volt a Kilovolt si ottiene dividendo per 1000, in accordo con la definizione SI del prefisso "kilo" (k = 10³). Il Kilovolt è usato comunemente in sistemi di trasmissione e distribuzione dell'energia elettrica.

Assumptions and conditions

This calculation is valid under the following conditions:

  • Grandezze scalari reali
  • Unità SI standard

This calculation is valid when: Grandezze scalari reali; Unità SI standard.

This is an informational calculation (unit conversion or physical definition). The margin of error is negligible if inputs are correct.

All inputs and outputs use SI units. Convert any values in other unit systems before entering them.

Limitations

This calculation does not apply in the following cases:

  • Solo conversione numerica, non considera effetti di alta tensione o isolamento

Solo conversione numerica, non considera effetti di alta tensione o isolamento

Referenced standards

No specific standard (definitional formula or fundamental physical principle).

How accurate is the result?

This calculator implements the standard form of the formula. Accuracy depends on the quality of the inputs provided. Source: Definizione SI: 1 kV = 1000 V (BIPM SI Brochure 9a ed.).

What is the source of the formula?

Definizione SI: 1 kV = 1000 V (BIPM SI Brochure 9a ed.)

Which parameter has the greatest influence on the result?

"Tensione (V)" is the most influential parameter: a 10% change in this input produces approximately 10% change in "Tensione (kV)".

How does the result change under different conditions?

Comparison between "Reference conditions" and "Rete MT 15 kV": Tensione (kV) [kV]: increases by 3650.0% (from 0.400 to 15.000).

Technical note

1 kV = 1000 V. Tensioni di rete: 230 V monofase, 400 V trifase (BT), 15 kV media tensione (MT), 132-380 kV alta tensione (AT).
