What Is This Tool?

This tool converts values between volt per mil (V/mil) and kilovolt per meter (kV/m), both units of electric field strength used in electronics and electrical engineering. It helps translate measurements from an imperial-based unit into an SI standard unit, enabling better communication and compliance with international standards.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the electric field strength value in volt per mil (V/mil).
  • Select the output unit as kilovolt per meter (kV/m).
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent value in kV/m.

Key Features

  • Converts electric field strength from volt/mil to kilovolt/meter with a precise conversion factor.
  • Browser-based and easy to operate without the need for specialized software.
  • Supports applications in PCB design, insulation testing, and high-voltage engineering.

Examples

  • 2 V/mil converts to approximately 78.74 kV/m.
  • 0.5 V/mil converts to approximately 19.69 kV/m.

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying dielectric strength and clearance requirements on printed circuit boards.
  • Describing electric field intensities in wire insulation and high-voltage components.
  • Assessing insulation and safety near high-voltage transmission equipment.
  • Defining test levels for dielectric breakdown and EMC testing.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure units correspond to the measured spacing or distance to avoid inaccuracies.
  • Use this tool for unit translation to comply with international engineering and physics standards.
  • Consider calibration and measurement context for precise field strength evaluations.

Limitations

  • Volt/mil is based on the imperial unit of 0.001 inch, which can cause rounding approximations.
  • Environmental factors like humidity and temperature are not accounted for in the conversion.
  • Conversion assumes ideal conditions and uniform field distribution which may differ in practice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does volt per mil measure?
Volt per mil measures electric field strength as the potential difference across a distance of one mil (0.001 inch).

Why convert volt/mil to kilovolt/meter?
Converting to kilovolt/meter translates imperial-based measurements into SI units used widely in engineering and physics.

Can environmental conditions affect the conversion accuracy?
Yes, factors like humidity and temperature can influence insulation performance and are not considered in the unit conversion.

Key Terminology

Volt per mil (V/mil)
A unit of electric field strength representing one volt potential difference over a distance of one mil (0.001 inch).
Kilovolt per meter (kV/m)
A unit of electric field strength equal to 1,000 volts per meter used to express electric potential gradient in SI units.
Electric field strength
A measure of the force exerted per unit charge at a point in space, expressed in units like V/mil or kV/m.
