What does 1 hectojoule/second represent in terms of power?

1 hectojoule/second corresponds to 100 joules per second, equivalent to 100 watts.

When should I use calorie (IT)/second instead of watts?

Calorie (IT)/second is used mainly in contexts involving thermal energy transfer with historical calorie units, such as laboratory calorimetry or older technical literature.

Is the conversion exact for all practical purposes?

While the conversion factor is defined, differences in calorie definitions and the unit’s non-SI nature mean precision might vary depending on use.
