Frequently Asked Questions

What does reciprocal siemens measure?
Reciprocal siemens (1/S) measure electrical resistance, equivalent to ohms, representing a device's opposition to electric current.

When should I use megohms for resistance?
Megohms are used to measure very high resistance values, especially in insulation testing and high-impedance instrumentation.

Why are megohm values very small when converted from reciprocal siemens?
Because megohms represent large resistance units, converting smaller resistance values from reciprocal siemens results in very small decimal numbers.

Key Terminology

Reciprocal Siemens [1/S]
An electrical resistance unit equivalent to ohms, defined as one volt per ampere, and representing opposition to electric current.
Megohm
A unit of electrical resistance equal to one million ohms, used to quantify very high resistance values.
Electrical Resistance
A measure of how strongly a material or component opposes the flow of electric current.
