Kilovoltti

Kilovoltti is a unit of electric potential difference, commonly referred to as voltage. It is a multiple of the base unit volt, with the prefix "kilo" indicating a factor of one thousand. Therefore, one kilovoltti is equal to 1000 volts. This unit is frequently used in contexts where voltages are significantly higher than those typically found in household electrical systems, such as in high-voltage power transmission, industrial applications, and scientific research involving particle accelerators or X-ray equipment. The kilovoltti is part of the International System of Units (SI). Understanding kilovoltti is essential for comprehending the behavior of electric fields and the operation of many advanced electrical devices and systems.
