What does one centiwatt represent?

One centiwatt equals one hundredth of a watt, quantifying very low power levels typically found in ultra-low-power electronics.

Where is kilocalorie (IT) per hour commonly used?

Kilocalorie (IT)/hour is often used to specify heating or cooling capacity in HVAC systems and to express metabolic energy rates.

Can this converter be used for high power values?

This converter is best suited for very low power values because centiwatt is a small unit and the results for large power levels may be very small decimals.
