A centiwatt is a unit of power equal to one hundredth of a watt, used mainly to describe very low power levels in electronics.

Why convert centiwatt to calorie (IT)/hour?

This conversion helps correlate electrical power consumption with thermal heat flow rates, especially in calorimetry and thermal management.

Can this tool convert large power values?

No, it is intended for small power ranges typical to centiwatt and calorie (IT)/hour units, not for large-scale conversions.
