Gigavolt

One gigavolt is equal to one billion volts (1e9 volts).

History: Gigavolt potentials occur in cosmic-ray physics and pulsed high-voltage research.

Current use: Used for accelerator physics, lightning research, and pulsed-power experiments.

Also written as GV.

Kilovolt

A kilovolt equals 10^3 volts.

History: The kilovolt is a common scaling of the volt for power-system work.

Current use: Used for electrical distribution, X-ray tubes, and industrial high-voltage equipment.

Also written as kV, kilovolts.
