What does 1 hectojoule per second represent in watts?

One hectojoule per second corresponds to 100 watts, as 1 joule per second equals 1 watt.

Why use calorie (IT)/minute instead of other power units?

Calorie (IT)/minute is useful for expressing small continuous heat transfer rates, especially in scientific and engineering scenarios involving thermal energy.

Can this converter be used for large power values?

This conversion is better suited for relatively small heat rates; it may be less practical for very large power measurements.
