What is joule per hour used to measure?

Joule per hour quantifies very low continuous power or energy transfer rates over one hour, often in small electronics or slow thermal processes.

Why convert joule/hour to pferdestarke?

Converting allows comparison of slow or small-scale power rates with the familiar metric horsepower unit PS, commonly used in German automotive power ratings.

Is pferdestarke an SI unit?

No, pferdestarke is not an SI unit but is widely used in German-speaking countries for automotive and historical power measurements.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms power values expressed in joule per hour, a unit representing energy transfer rate over an hour, into pferdestarke (PS), a metric horsepower unit used chiefly in automotive power ratings in German-speaking regions.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value in joule/hour into the input field.
Select 'joule/hour [J/h]' as the source unit and 'pferdestarke (ps)' as the target unit.
Click the convert button to see the equivalent power in pferdestarke (PS).

Key Features

Converts low continuous power rates from joule/hour to pferdestarke (PS).
Supports power unit conversion commonly used in automotive and engineering contexts.
Simple formula-based calculation using established conversion factors.
Browser-based tool requiring no installation or software.
Allows comparison of slow energy transfer rates with traditional horsepower units.

Examples

1000 joule/hour equals approximately 0.00037767 pferdestarke.
5000 joule/hour converts to around 0.00188836 pferdestarke.

Common Use Cases

Expressing very low continuous power or standby losses of small electronic devices measured over hours.
Converting long-duration energy measurements into instantaneous power rates for engineering.
Specifying engine power in automotive specifications and regional vehicle brochures in German-speaking countries.
Documenting power output of historical or small-scale machinery using regional units.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure input values represent continuous power over one hour for accurate conversion.
Use this conversion for low power ranges as PS values result in very small numbers.
Be mindful that PS is non-SI and should be integrated cautiously with SI unit systems.
Verify if the power rating context suits regional or historical unit conventions before converting.

Limitations

Joule/hour measures slow energy transfer resulting in very small PS outputs, unsuitable for high-power scenarios.
Pferdestarke is not an SI unit, limiting use in global or standardized systems.
Conversion assumes steady, continuous power over an hour and does not account for transient or peak loads.
