What does 1 Btu (IT)/hour represent?

It is a unit of power representing one International Table British thermal unit of heat transferred or removed per hour.

Why convert Btu (IT)/hour to hectowatt?

Converting to hectowatts helps express heat transfer rates in a standard SI-derived unit that aligns better with electrical power units.

Is hectowatt commonly used?

Hectowatt is less commonly used than watts or kilowatts but is suitable for expressing small power outputs such as household appliances.
