What does electric horsepower represent?

Electric horsepower is a unit of power used to rate electric motors, defined as exactly 746 watts and representing the energy conversion rate of one horsepower produced by an electric machine.

When should I convert horsepower (electric) to calorie (th)/minute?

Converting from electric horsepower to calorie (th)/minute is useful when relating mechanical or electrical motor power to thermal energy transfer in fields like calorimetry, metabolic studies, and food science.

Does this conversion consider efficiency losses?

No, the conversion assumes direct energy equivalence and does not account for system efficiencies or energy losses that may occur in real applications.
