How the formula works
Both kilovolt and hectovolt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in kilovolts by 10 to get hectovolts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a hectovolt value by 0.1 to get back to kilovolts.
Frequently asked questions
What is Kilovolt (kV)?
A Kilovolt (kV) equals 1,000 volt(s), a scaled unit of electric potential used for kilo-scale electrical work.
What is Hectovolt (hV)?
A Hectovolt (hV) equals 100 volt(s), a scaled unit of electric potential used for hecto-scale electrical work.
How do I convert kilovolts to hectovolts?
Multiply the kilovolt value by 10 to get the equivalent in hectovolts. For example, 5 kV × 10 = 50 hV.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 10 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert hectovolts back to kilovolts?
Yes. Divide the hectovolt value by 10, or multiply it by 0.1, to get kilovolts.
