How it works
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).
Formula source: Definizione SI: 1 kV = 1000 V (BIPM SI Brochure 9a ed.)
Application examples
Rete BT 400 V
Tensione concatenata tipica di rete trifase in bassa tensione (CEI 64-8)
Rete MT 15 kV
Tensione tipica di distribuzione in media tensione in Italia
Frequently asked questions
What does the Volts to Kilovolts calculator compute?
Convert voltage from volts (V) to kilovolts (kV). Exact SI conversion: 1 kV = 1000 V.
When is this calculation valid?

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).

Result sensitivity
The result varies significantly with changes in the following parameters:
- Tensione (V) [V]: linear sensitivity on "Tensione (kV)" (proportional, elasticity 1.00).
When this calculator does not apply
- Solo conversione numerica, non considera effetti di alta tensione o isolamento
Technical notes
- 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).
Technical analysis
Method: Convert voltage from volts (V) to kilovolts (kV). Exact SI conversion: 1 kV = 1000 V.
Reference result: Tensione (kV): 0.400 kV.
Sensitivity analysis
Elasticity: percentage change in output relative to percentage change in input (1.0 = linear).
| Input | Primary output | Elasticity | Relationship |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tensione (V) [V] | Tensione (kV) | 1.00 | linear |
Note: The result is particularly sensitive to "Tensione (V)" [V]: a 10% change produces approximately 10% change in "Tensione (kV)".
