What Is This Tool?

This unit converter helps transform electric conductance measurements from kilosiemens (kS) into ampere per volt (A/V), which are both standard SI units used to describe how easily electric current flows through components or networks.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in kilosiemens you want to convert.
  • Select kilosiemens [kS] as the input unit and ampere/volt [A/V] as the output unit.
  • Initiate the conversion to view the equivalent conductance value in ampere per volt.

Key Features

  • Converts electrical conductance values from kilosiemens to ampere per volt accurately.
  • Supports usage in power engineering, circuit design, amplifier characterization, and electrochemistry.
  • Displays results in fundamental SI units for detailed analysis.
  • Easy to use and browser-based for quick conversions.

Examples

  • 2 kS equals 2000 A/V according to the conversion factor (2 × 1000).
  • 0.5 kS converts to 500 A/V by multiplying 0.5 by 1000.

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying total conductance of power system busbars and substations.
  • Reporting conductance of highly conductive materials like metal contacts.
  • Modeling network admittance in power systems using convenient unit magnitudes.
  • Characterizing transistor transconductance and sensor electrode conductance.

Tips & Best Practices
