Why is calorie (th)/hour used for power measurement?

Calorie (th)/hour is used to measure very low thermal power rates, especially in laboratory calorimetry and metabolic heat production contexts.

What does one hectojoule per second represent?

One hectojoule per second equals 100 joules transferred per second, which corresponds to 100 watts of power.

When should I convert calorie (th)/hour to hectojoule/second?

Conversion is useful when expressing very low thermal power in units that align better with electrical and mechanical power ratings.
