abS = GS × 1
About Gigasiemens
The gigasiemens (GS) equals 10⁹ S, the conductance equivalent of a 1 nΩ resistance and numerically identical to the CGS-EMU absiemens. Short, thick copper interconnects in power electronics - such as a 10 mm thick 10 cm² copper slug - approach 1 GS conductance; cryogenically cooled metallic bar specimens near absolute zero show gigasiemens values. 1 GS = 10⁹ S = 1 abS.
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.
