What does 1 Btu (IT)/minute represent?

It is a unit of thermal power measuring the rate of heat transfer of one international British thermal unit per minute.

Why convert Btu (IT)/minute to kilocalorie (th)/hour?

Converting allows comparison of heating and cooling capacities between imperial and metric systems, useful in HVAC and appliance specifications.

Can this conversion be used for electrical power?

No, these units represent thermal power related to heat flow, not electrical power.
