In this article I will show you how to convert 1000 volts into kilovolts. Throughout the explanation below I might also call it 1000 v to kv. They are the same thing!
How to Convert Volts to Kilovolts
A volt is smaller than a kilovolt. I know that a v is smaller than a kv because of something called conversion factors.
Put very simply, a conversion factor is a number that can be used to change one set of units to another, by multiplying or dividing it. So when we need to convert 1000 volts into kilovolts, we use a conversion factor to get the answer.
The conversion factor for v to kv is:
Now that we know what the conversion factor is, we can easily calculate the conversion of 1000 v to kv by multiplying 0.001 by the number of volts we have, which is 1000.
So, the answer to the question "what is 1000 volts in kilovolts?" is 1 kv.

Best Conversion Unit for 1000 v
Sometimes when you work with conversions from one unit to another, the numbers can get a little confusing. Especially when dealing with really large numbers.
I've also calculated what the best unit of measurement is for 1000 v.
To determine which unit is best, I decided to define that as being the unit of measurement which is as low as possible, without going below 1. Smaller numbers are more easily understood and can make it easier for you to understand the measurement.
The best unit of measurement I have found for 1000 v is kilovolts and the amount is 1 kv.
