What is the relationship between joule/second and hectojoule/second?

One joule per second equals 0.01 hectojoule per second because 1 hJ/s is 100 joules per second.

When should I use hectojoule/second instead of joule/second?

Use hectojoule/second for expressing power values in larger units, especially when power ratings are multiples of 100 watts, to simplify calculations and reporting.

Is this conversion suitable for very low power measurements?

No, using hectojoule/second is less suited for low power values because it can obscure finer distinctions under 100 watts.

Key Terminology

Joule per second (J/s): The SI derived unit of power, equal to one watt, measuring energy transfer at the rate of one joule per second.
Hectojoule per second (hJ/s): A power unit equal to 100 joules per second, or 100 watts, used for expressing higher power values conveniently.
Power: The rate at which energy is transferred, converted, or expended.
