What does 1 hectowatt represent in watts?

One hectowatt equals 100 watts, representing a rate of energy transfer or power.

Why convert hectowatts to millijoules per second?

Converting to millijoules per second allows measuring very low power levels common in electronics and laboratory instruments.

Are conversions adjusted for real-world conditions?

No, the conversions use standard unit definitions without considering practical inefficiencies or losses.
