Common Voltage Conversions

SI Prefixes:

• 1 kV = 1,000 V

• 1 MV = 1,000,000 V

• 1 mV = 0.001 V

• 1 μV = 0.000001 V

Power Systems:

• Household: 120V, 240V (US)

• Household: 230V, 400V (EU)

• Transmission: 138kV, 500kV

• Distribution: 4kV, 13kV

Electronics:

• Logic: 3.3V, 5V

• Battery: 1.5V, 9V, 12V

• Sensors: mV, μV range

• Op-amps: ±15V supply

Special Units:

• 1 abV = 10⁻⁸ V (CGS)

• 1 statV ≈ 299.8 V (ESU)

• 1 V = 1 J/C = 1 W/A

⚡ Voltage Types & Measurements

Peak Voltage (V_peak): Maximum instantaneous voltage

RMS Voltage (V_rms): Root Mean Square, effective voltage (AC)

Peak-to-Peak (V_pp): Difference between positive and negative peaks

Average Voltage (V_avg): Mean value over time period

For sine waves: V_rms = V_peak / √2 ≈ 0.707 × V_peak

⚠️ Safety Warning

High voltages can be extremely dangerous and potentially lethal.

Low Voltage: < 50V (generally safe)

High Voltage: > 1kV (requires special precautions)

Extra High Voltage: > 100kV (transmission lines)

Always follow proper safety procedures when working with electrical systems.
