In electricity, **KV** stands for **kilovolt**, which is a unit of electric potential or voltage.
1 **KV** = 1,000 volts.
Voltage is the force that pushes electric current through a conductor (like a wire). So, when we say something is operating at a certain number of kilovolts (KV), it means it’s at that many thousands of volts.
For example, if a power line operates at 100 KV, it means the voltage on that line is 100,000 volts. High-voltage systems often use KV to express the voltage level because it’s easier to work with larger numbers.
Kilovolts are commonly used in power transmission lines, electrical equipment, and electrical systems in industries to handle high voltages efficiently.
