Frequently Asked Questions

What does a hectofarad measure?
A hectofarad (hF) is an SI-derived unit of electrostatic capacitance equal to 100 farads, representing the capacity of a component to store electric charge per unit electric potential.

When would I use kilofarads instead of hectofarads?
Kilofarads are used to express very large capacitance values typically required in high-capacity energy storage devices and rapid energy delivery systems.

How do I convert 1 hectofarad to kilofarads?
1 hectofarad equals 0.1 kilofarad according to the defined conversion rate.
