What does joule per hour (J/h) measure?

Joule per hour measures the rate of energy transfer or power, representing one joule of energy transferred per hour.

Why use calorie (th)/hour instead of watts?

Calorie (th)/hour is used to quantify thermal power rates especially in calorimetry and physiological heat production contexts, where thermal units are preferred over SI watts.

Can I use this conversion for high power devices?

No, these units are designed for very low power levels and are not suitable for high-power applications.
