Λoeq = Equivalence Conductivity at infinite dilution. λo+ & λ o- = Equivalence Conductivity of Cation and Anion; 

H OH
Λom =  0 S cm2mol-1       Λo =  0 S cm2mol-1
Kohlrausch law of independent migration of ions states that the dissociation of an electrolyte is complete in the infinite dilution and thus the the ions that constitute the electrolyte contributes definitely. Thus the limiting equivalent conductivity of an electrolyte is the algebraic sum of the limiting equivalent conductivity of it's constituent ions. The molar equivalent conductivity can also be calculated using the Kohlrausch law. Here the Λo or Λoeq resembles equivalent molar conductivity and the Λom resembles molar conductivity.
