Convert Kilosiemens to Gigasiemens
Convert Kilosiemens (kS) to Gigasiemens (GS) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
GS = kS × 1.000000000e-6
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.
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.
