Convert Kilosiemens to Megasiemens
Convert Kilosiemens (kS) to Megasiemens (MS) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
MS = kS × 0.001
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 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.
