Up until about the late 1970's the units of EC were micromhos per centimeter (µmhos/cm) after which they were changed to microSiemens/cm
1 µS/cm = 1 µmho/cm.
CorrectionThis is true, but the answer and the question illustrate why the "mho" was changed to the "siemens": it's too easy to confuse "mho" and "ohm" Incidentally, the mho was intended to be the ohm spelled backwards, to illustrate that the mho is the inverse of the ohm, but as we see, this turned out to be more confusing than helpful.The original question is how to convert µS cm to ohm cm. I assume that the original poster wanted to convert ohm cm to µS/cm (microSiemens divided by centimeters, not multiplied)
In that case, the answer is that S/cm are the inverse of Ohm cm. So:
1/ 1 megaohm cm = 1 microS/cm
Copper has lower electrical resistance than aluminum. This means that copper is more efficient at conducting electricity compared to aluminum. Specifically, copper's resistivity is about 1.68 micro-ohm meters, while aluminum's is around 2.82 micro-ohm meters, making copper a preferred choice for many electrical applications.
Here are some common units, and what they measure:volt - voltage ampere - current ohm - resistance siemens - conductance hertz - frequency (dimensionless number) - power factor watt - power
Ohm's Law says Voltage = Current x Resistance. Hence, if you know ohms = 10 you need to know the current passing through the resistance to know the voltage drop across the resistance. If there were 1 Amp flowing through resistance, you would have 1 x 10 = 10 Volts.
The SI unit of resistance is the ohm, represented by the symbol Ω. It is named after the German physicist Georg Simon Ohm, and is used to measure the opposition to the flow of electric current in a circuit.
These do not convert. ma (milliamps) is a unit of electric current, while volts is a unit of voltage. They are related by Ohm's Law: V = I*R, with V is voltage (volts), I is current (amps), and R is resistance (Ohms).
Ohm is the reciprocal of Siemens. Ohm = 1/Siemens.
Siemens is the reciprocal of ohm. You can convert from milliohms to ohms, then take the reciprocal. The answer will be in Siemens.
You don't . . . they are the same thing. "Siemens" is the SI unit being used to replace the ohm. (Ohm spelled backward)
To convert microsiemens per centimeter (µS/cm) to ohm-centimeters (Ω·cm), you can use the formula: ( \text{Resistance (Ω·cm)} = \frac{1}{\text{Conductivity (µS/cm)}} ). Since conductivity in µS/cm is the reciprocal of resistivity in Ω·cm, simply take the inverse of the conductivity value. For example, if the conductivity is 100 µS/cm, the resistivity would be ( \frac{1}{100} = 0.01 ) Ω·cm.
A megaOhm.cm is a unit of electrical resistance (Note: Centimeters here are multipliers, not denominators). It is equivalent to the unit microS/cm, where S represents Siemens. 1 S = 1/Ohm Some notation uses the inverse term, mho, as in 1 micromho.cm. 1 mho = 1/Ohm = 1 S
0.01 siemens.
m (milli) ohm = 1/1000 ohmµ (micro) ohm = 1/1000000 ohmn (nano) ohm = 1/1000000000 ohmp (nano) ohm = 1/1000000000000 ohm
if it is ohm meter and not ohm per metre; divide by 1,000,000 to convert ohm to megaohm, then divide by 1000 further to convert metre into kilometre
Conductance is the reciprocal of resistance, and is measured in siemens (S). So a 5.1 ohm resistor has 1/5.1 conductance, which is approximately 0.196 078 431 372 549 019 607 843 137 254 9 S.
Siemens
Siemens measures electrical conductance. It is the dimensional reciprocal of Ohms. So if you measured resistance at 0.002 Ohms, the equivalent conductance is 500 Siemens. Note, this unit has been called mhos (Ohm spelled backward) as well. The symbol is an upside down greek upper-case omega character (just like Ohm uses a greek omega).
It should be something about 70 micro Ohm for VCB with two breaks per pole and about 30-40 micro Ohm for one break VCB
