How the formula works
Both hectovolt and decivolt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in hectovolts by 1000 to get decivolts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a decivolt value by 0.001 to get back to hectovolts.
Frequently asked questions
What is Hectovolt (hV)?
A Hectovolt (hV) equals 100 volt(s), a scaled unit of electric potential used for hecto-scale electrical work.
What is Decivolt (dV)?
A Decivolt (dV) equals 1/10 volt(s), a scaled unit of electric potential used for deci-scale electrical work.
How do I convert hectovolts to decivolts?
Multiply the hectovolt value by 1000 to get the equivalent in decivolts. For example, 5 hV × 1000 = 5000 dV.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 1000 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert decivolts back to hectovolts?
Yes. Divide the decivolt value by 1000, or multiply it by 0.001, to get hectovolts.
