What does 1 microwatt represent?

One microwatt (µW) equals one millionth of a watt and measures very small power levels often found in microelectronic and biomedical devices.

When should I use the calorie (IT)/hour unit?

Calorie (IT)/hour is ideal for expressing small heat transfer rates in thermal analysis, calorimetry, and material testing scenarios.

Is this conversion suitable for fluctuating power levels?

No, this conversion applies accurately only to steady-state power measurements.
