What is electric horsepower used for?

Electric horsepower is commonly used to rate electric motors and drives, indicating mechanical power output for equipment such as pumps, fans, and compressors.

Why convert horsepower (electric) to kilocalorie (th)/minute?

Converting between these units helps compare mechanical power output with thermal energy flow, which is useful in engineering, physiology, and heating equipment evaluations.

Does this conversion work for transient power measurements?

No, this conversion assumes steady-state conditions and may not accurately represent transient power or efficiency losses.
