Convert Nanoohms to Microohms
Convert Nanoohms (nΩ) to Microohms (µΩ) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
µΩ = nΩ × 0.001
About Nanoohms
The nanoohm (nΩ) equals 10⁻⁹ Ω, the same magnitude as the CGS-EMU abohm (1 abΩ = 10⁻⁹ Ω exactly). This scale is used for the lowest measurable resistances in copper busbars at cryogenic temperatures and in precision four-wire measurements of welded or crimped joints; the residual resistance of a high-quality solder joint on 2.5 mm² copper cable falls below 10 nΩ. 1 nΩ = 10⁻³ µΩ = 10⁻⁹ Ω.
About Microohms
The microohm (µΩ) equals 10⁻⁶ Ω, the practical scale for contact resistance testing, bus-bar joints, and circuit-breaker contacts. A well-made bolted bus-bar connection has contact resistance below 50 µΩ; a 25 mm² copper conductor has resistance of about 0.7 µΩ/mm; IEC 60947 specifies acceptance limits for switchgear contacts in microohms. 1 µΩ = 10⁻³ mΩ = 10³ nΩ.
