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 Picosiemens
The picosiemens (pS) equals 10⁻¹² S, the practical scale for leakage conductance in MOSFET gate oxides, precision insulators, and high-impedance voltage probes. A 10 GΩ oscilloscope probe presents 100 pS input conductance; reverse-leakage in a silicon signal diode at room temperature is typically 1-10 pS; PTFE cable insulation is specified below 1 pS/m. 1 pS = 10⁻³ nS = 10⁻¹² S.
