What is a decijoule per second (dJ/s)?

It is a unit of power equal to 0.1 watt, used for expressing small power levels in scientific and engineering contexts.

What does electric horsepower measure?

Electric horsepower represents the power output of electric motors, defined as exactly 746 watts in U.S. engineering.

Why convert dJ/s to horsepower (electric)?

To translate small-scale power measurements into standardized units for electric motor ratings and industrial equipment specifications.

What Is This Tool?

This converter enables you to translate power values from decijoule per second (dJ/s), a unit used for low-power electronic and scientific measurements, into electric horsepower, which is standard for rating electric motors and industrial machinery.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value in decijoule per second (dJ/s).
Select electric horsepower as the target unit.
Click convert to display the equivalent power in horsepower (electric).

Key Features

Converts power from decijoule per second [dJ/s] to electric horsepower.
Supports power units commonly used in scientific research and industrial settings.
Provides easy-to-use calculations based on exact conversion rates.
Helps compare small electronic power consumption with motor power ratings.

Examples

10 dJ/s equals 0.001340483 horsepower (electric).
100 dJ/s equals 0.01340483 horsepower (electric).

Common Use Cases

Expressing power consumption for low-power electronic components like sensors and microcontrollers.
Specifying output power of electric motors on nameplates for pumps, fans, and compressors.
Converting small-scale scientific power measurements to industrial power ratings.
Sizing motor controllers and electrical supply for various industrial equipment.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this conversion to link low-power measurement data with standard motor output units.
Apply it when preparing equipment specifications or comparing motor power ratings.
Consider the appropriate context since decijoule/second suits small-scale powers only.
Be aware that electric horsepower is specific to electrical motor rating, not mechanical horsepower.

Limitations

Decijoule per second is intended for relatively low power ranges and may not fit high-power industrial uses.
Electric horsepower corresponds only to electrical motor output and differs from mechanical horsepower units.
Direct equivalence does not apply across all horsepower types without adjustments.
