About Absiemens
The absiemens (abS) is the conductance unit of the CGS-EMU system, equal to 1/abΩ = 1/(10⁻⁹ Ω) = 10⁹ S, exactly identical to 1 GS in SI. It appears in nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century electromagnetic engineering texts; 1 abS corresponds to the conductance of a 1 nΩ connection typical of large cryogenically cooled bus joints or welded thick-copper structures. 1 abS = 10⁹ S = 1 GS.
About Kilosiemens
The kilosiemens (kS) equals 10³ S, encountered in high-conductance metallic connections and power-semiconductor on-state characterisation. A large copper busbar of 100 mm² cross-section and 1 m length has conductance of about 60 kS; high-power IGBT modules with Rₛₒₙ below 1 mΩ present conductances exceeding 1 kS; arc furnace electrodes exhibit kilosiemens-range contact conductance. 1 kS = 10³ S = 10⁻³ MS.
