Megavolts per meter to kilovolts per meter
Type a value in MV/m to get it in kV/m instantly.
1,000kV/m
That's 100× as strong as under a thundercloud, while the breakdown of air is 3× stronger. Across a 1 mm gap that would need about 1,000 V.
What it means
How strong is that field?
Air breaks down around 3 MV/m in dry conditions. Humidity, sharp points and dust all lower that figure.
The math
How to convert MV/m to kV/m
To convert megavolts per meter to kilovolts per meter, multiply by 1,000.
Example: 1 MV/m × 1,000 = 1,000 kV/m.
In the other direction, 1 kV/m = 0.001 MV/m.

The units
About these units
Megavolts per meter (MV/m)
A million V/m. Air breaks down at about 3 MV/m.
Kilovolts per meter (kV/m)
A thousand V/m, the usual scale for power lines and static.
