👉 The term "kilo-volts" is used to describe voltages that are measured in units of 1,000 volts. These voltages are commonly used in electrical engineering and telecommunications applications where voltages range from very low (a few millivolts) to a high voltage (more than 100,000 volts). The kilovolt is a unit of measurement that can be considered as the equivalent of 1,000 volts.
