Convert Between Units of Electric Conductance
Electric potential difference (voltage) measures the electrical “push” that drives current through a circuit. It is used in everything from batteries and sensors to power systems and industrial equipment. Common units include volts (V), millivolts (mV), and kilovolts (kV). Converting voltage units is useful when comparing sensor signals, control wiring, power distribution ratings, and test measurements.
About Electric Conductance Conversions
Helpful context and notes for converting Electric Conductance units.
Voltage values span tiny signal levels (mV) to high distribution levels (kV). In instrumentation, a few millivolts can represent a meaningful sensor output, while power systems talk in hundreds or thousands of volts. Prefix mistakes are easy: 1 V equals 1000 mV. Voltage also connects to current and resistance through Ohm’s law (V = I × R) and to power through P = V × I. Conversions should preserve the physical meaning and the operating range.
Practical tip: sanity-check against typical ranges. Many sensors output 0–10 V or 4–20 mA (with a resistor translating to volts). Common electronics are 3.3 V or 5 V logic, while mains power is much higher. If a conversion implies a sensor is outputting kilovolts, the units are wrong. When working with high voltage ratings, do not round aggressively and do not confuse RMS and peak values in AC systems.
