What is a centijoule per second (cJ/s)?

It is a unit of power representing one hundredth of a joule transferred per second, equal to 0.01 watt, often used for expressing very small power levels.

What does electric horsepower measure?

Electric horsepower is a unit used to rate electric motors, defined as exactly 746 watts, representing mechanical work produced by an electric machine.

Why convert cJ/s to electric horsepower?

Converting cJ/s to electric horsepower helps compare very small-scale power outputs with standard motor power ratings for engineering and specification purposes.

Click the convert button to instantly see the equivalent power in electric horsepower.

Key Features

Converts centijoule/second (cJ/s) to electric horsepower accurately based on defined rates.
Supports power measurements for low-power devices and industrial motor ratings.
Browser-based tool for quick and convenient unit conversion.
Facilitates comparison between small-scale power and standardized motor power units.

Examples

100 cJ/s converts to 0.00134048 electric horsepower.
500 cJ/s converts to 0.0067024 electric horsepower.

Common Use Cases

Translating power consumption of low-power sensors and wearable electronics into motor ratings.
Converting small outputs from photodiodes, LEDs, or laboratory components to a standard unit.
Comparing harvested power values from micro-energy harvesters with industrial electric motor specifications.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this converter when needing to relate very small power measurements to standard motor power ratings.
Ensure that power values are entered with appropriate precision due to the small scale of centijoule/second units.
Consider the context and limitations when applying conversions to non-standard motors or efficiency variations.

Limitations

Extremely small cJ/s values result in very small electric horsepower outputs that may require precise measurement tools.
Conversion does not account for motor efficiency differences or operating condition variations.
Assumes standard unit definitions without addressing alternate horsepower standards.
