Megasiemens

Definition

A metric unit of electric conductance equal to one million siemens. Used for measuring very high conductance values in large electrical systems and high-conductivity materials.

History/Origin

Derived from the siemens unit with the mega prefix, representing 10^6 siemens. Used in electrical engineering for measuring conductance in large-scale electrical systems and high-conductivity applications.

Current Use

Used in power engineering and large-scale electrical systems for measuring very high conductance values. Common in industrial applications where large amounts of current flow through highly conductive materials.

Abmho

ab℧

Definition

A very large unit of electric conductance in the CGS electromagnetic system equal to one billion siemens. Used for measuring extremely high conductance values in specialized electrical applications.

History/Origin

Part of the CGS electromagnetic system of units, where "ab" stands for "absolute." The abmho was used in early electrical measurements before the adoption of the SI system for very high conductance values.

Current Use

Used in specialized scientific research and some technical applications for measuring extremely high conductance values. Still referenced in some physics and electrical engineering literature.
