statA = kA × 2997924580000
About Kiloamperes
The kiloampere (kA) equals 10³ A, the scale of industrial arc furnaces, short-circuit fault currents in power networks, and lightning return strokes. Medium-frequency induction furnaces for steel melting operate at 1-10 kA; substation busbar faults can reach 50-100 kA; a typical cloud-to-ground lightning stroke carries 10-30 kA for tens of microseconds. 1 kA = 10³ A = 10⁻³ MA.
About Statamperes
The statampere (statA) is the current unit of the CGS-Gaussian system, equal to 1 statC/s = 1/(10c) A ≈ 3.336 × 10⁻¹⁰ A (exact, since c = 2.997 924 58 × 10⁸ m/s is exact). Two long parallel wires each carrying 1 statA and separated by 1 cm experience a force of 1/c² dyn per centimetre. The statampere is used in electrostatics texts where Coulomb's law is written without ε₀. 1 statA ≈ 333.6 pA.
