About Converting Gigasiemens to Petasiemens
Gigasiemens and Petasiemens both belong to the electricity family — voltage, current, resistance, power, or energy — units that show up constantly when working across the different standards used by household wiring (120V/240V depending on region), automotive electrical systems (12V/24V), and electronics design. Specifically: Gigasiemens is 1000000000 siemens units, and petasiemens is 1000000000000000 siemens units.
Formula
petasiemens = gigasiemens × 0.000001
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 gigasiemens equals 1000000000 base units, and 1 petasiemens equals 1e+15 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct gigasiemens-to-petasiemens factor of 0.000001.
Simple example
1 GS × 0.000001 = 0.000001 PS
1 gigasiemens = 0.000001 petasiemens.
Real-world example
120 GS × 0.000001 = 0.00012 PS
120 gigasiemens = 0.00012 petasiemens.

Frequently asked questions
How many petasiemens are in 1 gigasiemens?
1 gigasiemens equals 0.000001 petasiemens, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert gigasiemens to petasiemens?
Multiply the gigasiemens value by 0.000001. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert petasiemens back to gigasiemens?
Use the reverse factor: 1 petasiemens equals 1,000,000 gigasiemens. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a gigasiemens?
Gigasiemens (GS) is a unit of electricity.
What is a petasiemens?
Petasiemens (PS) is a unit of electricity.
Is the gigasiemens to petasiemens conversion exact?
Yes. Both gigasiemens and petasiemens are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.000001 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between voltage, current, and resistance?
Voltage (volts) is the electrical potential difference driving current through a circuit. Current (amperes) is the rate of flow of electric charge. Resistance (ohms) is how much a component opposes that flow. They're related by Ohm's law (V = I × R), but they are distinct physical quantities, and this page converts between units of just one of them.
