Unit Description
Metric Horsepower (PS)
Definition
Metric horsepower (PS) is a unit of power equal to 75 kilogram-force meters per second, approximately 735.5 watts. It's the metric equivalent of horsepower, used primarily in European automotive and mechanical applications.
History
Metric horsepower was developed as a metric alternative to the imperial horsepower unit. It became standard in European automotive and mechanical industries, providing a power unit consistent with metric measurements while maintaining familiarity with the horsepower concept.
Current Use
Metric horsepower is used in European automotive specifications, mechanical equipment ratings, and industrial machinery. It's standard for European car engine ratings, machinery specifications, and mechanical power systems in metric countries.
Centiwatt (cW)
Definition
A centiwatt (cW) is a unit of power equal to one hundredth of a watt (0.01 W). It represents extremely small power levels found in ultra-low-power electronics, precision sensors, and specialized instruments.
History
The centiwatt developed with the need for precise power measurements in advanced electronics and scientific instruments. It became important for describing power consumption in ultra-low-power devices and precision measurement systems.
Current Use
Centiwatts are used in ultra-low-power electronics, precision sensors, and specialized scientific instruments. They're essential for describing power consumption in advanced sensors, precision circuits, and ultra-low-power electronic systems.
