What does a kilocalorie (IT)/minute measure?

It measures the rate of energy transfer equal to one kilocalorie (International Table) per minute and is often used for nutritional or thermal energy rates.

Why convert kilocalorie (IT)/minute to microwatt?

The conversion allows expressing energy rates in precise small-scale power units suitable for scientific, engineering, and biomedical applications.

Is this converter useful for all electrical power measurements?

No, it is mainly useful for low power contexts; the kilocalorie (IT)/minute unit may be less precise for highly technical electrical power uses.
