A hectowatt (hW) is a power unit equal to 100 watts, commonly used to describe output of small household loads and portable equipment.

When should I use femtojoule per second as a power unit?

Femtojoule per second is used to measure extremely small power transfers, such as in nanoelectronics, quantum devices, and precise experimental physics.

Why are the converted values from hectowatt to femtojoule/second so large?

Because femtojoule per second is an extremely small unit of power (10^-15 watts), converting from hectowatts (100 watts) results in numerically very large values.
