Conversion Formula
MS = GS × 1000
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 Megasiemens
The megasiemens (MS) equals 10⁶ S, the scale for very-low-resistance metallic structures such as thick busbars and short heavy-gauge connectors. A 10 cm long, 1 cm² copper bar has conductance of roughly 600 MS; aluminium overhead grid feeders have per-span conductances in the megasiemens range; conductance of grain boundaries in polycrystalline conductors at cryogenic temperatures reaches megasiemens. 1 MS = 10⁶ S = 10³ kS.
