What does a gigajoule per second measure?

It measures power as the rate of energy transfer equal to one billion joules per second, commonly used to describe very large power levels.

Why convert from GJ/s to daJ/s?

Converting allows expressing huge power units in smaller units, making it easier to compare and work with devices or systems operating at different power scales.

Can this conversion be used for household appliances?

Yes, dekajoule per second units are appropriate for describing power consumption of common appliances like lighting and heating devices.
