What does a hectowatt measure?

A hectowatt measures power equal to 100 watts and represents the rate of energy transfer or conversion per unit time.

Why use nanojoule per second as a unit?

Nanojoule per second quantifies very small continuous power levels or average power in ultra-low power or microelectronic devices.

Is this converter suitable for household power measurements?

Because of the large scale difference, nanojoule per second is impractical for typical household power ratings and is mainly for sensitive, micro-scale measurements.
