What Is This Tool?

This unit converter allows users to convert electrical resistance values from volt per ampere (V/A), the SI derived unit equal to one ohm, to megohms, a unit measuring one million ohms. This conversion is especially useful for representing high resistance values in electrical engineering applications.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in volt/ampere (V/A) that you want to convert
  • Select the target unit as megohm for the conversion
  • Click the convert button to get the equivalent resistance in megohms
  • Review the result which is based on the conversion factor 1 V/A = 0.000001 megohm

Key Features

  • Converts electrical resistance from V/A to megohm accurately based on defined conversion rates
  • Supports applications in insulation resistance and high-impedance measurement contexts
  • Browser-based tool requiring no installation for quick and easy access
  • Clear presentation of conversion formulas and example calculations

Examples

  • 100 Volt/ampere [V/A] equals 0.0001 Megohm
  • 5,000 Volt/ampere [V/A] equals 0.005 Megohm

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying resistance in circuits and components such as resistors and wiring
  • Testing insulation resistance of cables, motors, and transformers with insulation testers
  • Defining leakage or dielectric resistance of materials and capacitors
  • Using in high-impedance instrumentation like electrometers and sensors

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure that the resistance values are linear for accurate conversions
  • Use this converter primarily for higher resistance values to benefit from megohm units
  • Verify measurement instrument resolution when converting very low resistances
  • Apply this tool during circuit analysis following Ohm's law relationships

Limitations

  • Conversion assumes resistance values are linear and may not apply for nonlinear or frequency-dependent resistances
  • Accuracy may be affected when converting very low resistance values due to instrument resolution limits

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 1 volt per ampere represent in electrical resistance?
1 volt per ampere (V/A) is the SI derived unit of electrical resistance equal to one ohm, representing the potential difference needed to drive one ampere of current.

Why convert from volt/ampere to megohm?
Converting to megohm is useful for expressing very high resistance values, such as insulation resistance or leakage current, more conveniently and clearly.

Can this converter be used for nonlinear resistance values?
No, this conversion tool is intended for linear resistance values and is less applicable to nonlinear or frequency-dependent resistances.

Key Terminology

Volt per ampere (V/A)
