What is the ESU of current unit?

The ESU of current, also called the statampere, is an electrostatic cgs unit representing one electrostatic unit of charge passing a point per second.

Why convert ESU of current to kiloampere?

Converting ESU of current to kiloampere helps translate historical or theoretical currents into units used in modern engineering and power systems.

Where is kiloampere commonly used?

Kiloampere is used to measure very large currents such as fault currents in power grids, lightning surge levels, and large industrial currents.
