What does kilojoule per minute measure?

Kilojoule per minute measures power as the rate of energy transfer, representing how much energy is transferred or consumed each minute.

Why is horsepower still used if it’s a non-SI unit?

Horsepower remains common in mechanical and automotive contexts as a traditional unit to express engine and motor power, especially in certain regions.

Can I use this converter for all horsepower types?

This converter is oriented towards mechanical/imperial horsepower (hp, hp (UK)); other horsepower variants may require different conversion factors.
