What Is This Tool?

This converter helps transform electric conductance measurements from the statmho, a unit from the cgs system, to kilosiemens (kS), an SI unit widely used in modern electrical contexts. It is useful for translating legacy or theoretical data into standard units recognized in power engineering and electronic applications.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the numeric conductance value in statmho into the input field.
  • Select statmho as the source unit and kilosiemens [kS] as the target unit.
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent value displayed in kilosiemens.
  • Use the converted data for analysis, reporting, or comparison with SI unit measurements.

Key Features

  • Converts electric conductance from statmho to kilosiemens (kS) accurately according to defined conversion rates.
  • Supports translating historical cgs-based conductance data into SI units for modern use.
  • Browser-based and user-friendly tool suitable for engineers, physicists, and researchers.
  • Includes examples demonstrating standard conversions between units.

Examples

  • 1 statmho converts to approximately 1.1123 × 10⁻¹⁵ kilosiemens (kS).
  • 10 statmho is equivalent to about 1.1123 × 10⁻¹⁴ kilosiemens (kS).

Common Use Cases

  • Converting conductance values in historical electromagnetic literature using cgs units into SI units.
  • Performing theoretical calculations in plasma physics or astrophysics that involve cgs conductance units.
  • Specifying conductance levels of power engineering components like busbars and grounding networks using kilosiemens.
  • Modeling network admittance in power-system analysis with convenient unit magnitudes.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure unit system consistency to avoid mixing cgs and SI units improperly during calculations.
  • Use this conversion primarily for legacy data translation or theoretical work involving cgs units.
  • Interpret very small converted values with care, considering potential numerical precision limits.
  • Validate converted results when integrating legacy data with modern engineering analyses.

Limitations

  • Converted values from statmho to kilosiemens are often extremely small, which might affect numerical precision.
  • Statmho is generally obsolete and mainly relevant for legacy or theoretical contexts rather than practical engineering.
  • Mixing units from cgs and SI systems requires caution to prevent errors in computation or interpretation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a statmho?
A statmho is the unit of electrical conductance in the cgs (electrostatic, Gaussian) system, defined as the reciprocal of the statohm. It represents the conductance allowing one statampere when one statvolt is applied.

Why convert statmho to kilosiemens?
Converting statmho to kilosiemens allows legacy or theoretical conductance data in cgs units to be translated into the SI system, facilitating comparison with modern values used in electrical engineering.

Where is kilosiemens commonly used?
Kilosiemens is commonly used in power engineering to specify conductance of busbars, grounding networks, high-current components, and in power system admittance modeling.

Key Terminology

Statmho
Unit of electrical conductance in the cgs electrostatic system, defined as the reciprocal of the statohm.
Kilosiemens (kS)
An SI-derived unit of electrical conductance equal to 1,000 siemens, used to quantify how easily current passes through a component.
Electrical Conductance
A measure of how easily electric current flows through a material, mathematically the reciprocal of electrical resistance.
