What does MBH stand for in power measurement?

MBH is a non-SI power unit representing 1,000 British thermal units per hour, commonly used to specify heat output in HVAC systems.

When should I use centiwatt as a unit?

Centiwatt is ideal for quantifying very low power levels such as those in ultra-low-power electronics, sensor nodes, and small indicator LEDs.

Why convert from MBH to centiwatt?

Users convert from MBH to centiwatt to translate large-scale heating power values into very small units suitable for low power electronic system analysis.
