What does kilojoule per second (kJ/s) measure?

Kilojoule per second measures the rate of energy transfer equivalent to 1,000 joules per second, and it equals one kilowatt.

Where is pferdestarke (PS) commonly used?

Pferdestärke is commonly used in German-speaking countries to express mechanical power, especially in automotive engine ratings.

Is pferdestarke an SI unit?

No, pferdestärke is not an International System of Units (SI) unit but is widely used regionally for power ratings.
