Convert hectowatt to joule/second
Please provide values below to convert hectowatt [hW] to joule/second [J/s], or Convert joule/second to hectowatt.
1 hW = 100 J/s. To convert hectowatt to joule/second, multiply the value by 100; to go the other way, divide by it (1 J/s = 0.01 hW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 hW = 100 J/s
- 1 J/s = 0.01 hW
- 10 hW = 1000 J/s
- 100 hW = 10000 J/s
How to Convert Hectowatt to Joule/second
1 hW = 100 J/s
Example: convert 15 hW to J/s:
15 hW = 15 × 100 J/s = 1500 J/s

Hectowatt
A hectowatt (hW) is a unit of power equal to 100 watts.
History/Origin
The hectowatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide larger units of power measurement, though it is rarely used in practice today.
Current Use
The hectowatt is seldom used in modern contexts; power is typically expressed in watts or kilowatts, but it may appear in specific engineering or scientific applications requiring larger units.
Joule/second
The joule per second (J/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, equivalent to one watt.
History/Origin
The joule per second has been used as a measure of power since the adoption of the SI system, where the watt (W) became the standard unit of power, with 1 J/s = 1 W.
Current Use
J/s is primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify power, especially in physics and electrical engineering, often interchangeably with watts.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 hectowatt in joule/second?
1 hectowatt (hW) = 100 joule/second (J/s).
How do you convert hectowatt to joule/second?
Multiply the hectowatt value by 100. For example, 25 hW × 100 = 2500 J/s.
What is 10 hectowatt in joule/second?
10 hW = 1000 J/s.
Which unit is larger, the hectowatt or the joule/second?
The hectowatt is the larger unit: 1 hW = 100 J/s.
