What does joule per second (J/s) measure?

It is an SI derived unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer, equivalent to one watt.

When should I use pound-foot per hour (lbf*ft/h)?

Use it for expressing very low mechanical power, especially in legacy or vintage imperial units.

Is this converter suitable for high-power applications?

No, pound-foot per hour is mainly for very low-power measurements and less practical for high-power uses.
