How the formula works
Both hectovolt and kilovolt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in hectovolts by 0.1 to get kilovolts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a kilovolt value by 10 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 Kilovolt (kV)?
A Kilovolt (kV) equals 1,000 volt(s), a scaled unit of electric potential used for kilo-scale electrical work.
How do I convert hectovolts to kilovolts?
Multiply the hectovolt value by 0.1 to get the equivalent in kilovolts. For example, 5 hV × 0.1 = 0.5 kV.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 0.1 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert kilovolts back to hectovolts?
Yes. Divide the kilovolt value by 0.1, or multiply it by 10, to get hectovolts.
