What is electric horsepower used for?

Electric horsepower rates electric motors and drives, commonly shown on motor nameplates for specifying output power.

Why convert horsepower (electric) to decijoule/second?

To express motor power ratings in smaller SI units advantageous for comparing with low-power electronics or scientific measurements.

Are decijoule/second units suitable for very high power values?

They may be less practical due to the large numeric values involved when representing high power ratings.
