Convert dekawatt to centiwatt
Please provide values below to convert dekawatt [daW] to centiwatt [cW], or Convert centiwatt to dekawatt.
1 daW = 1000 cW. To convert dekawatt to centiwatt, multiply the value by 1000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cW = 0.001 daW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 daW = 1000 cW
- 1 cW = 0.001 daW
- 10 daW = 10000 cW
- 100 daW = 100000 cW
How to Convert Dekawatt to Centiwatt
1 daW = 1000 cW
Example: convert 15 daW to cW:
15 daW = 15 × 1000 cW = 15000 cW

Dekawatt
A dekawatt (daW) is a unit of power equal to 10 watts.
History/Origin
The dekawatt was introduced as part of the metric system's prefixes for larger units of power, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts, but it is not widely adopted in everyday use.
Current Use
The dekawatt is rarely used in modern practice; power measurements are typically expressed in watts or kilowatts. It may appear in specialized technical fields or historical references.
Centiwatt
A centiwatt (cW) is a unit of power equal to one hundredth of a watt, where 1 cW = 0.01 watts.
History/Origin
The centiwatt was introduced as a smaller unit of power measurement to facilitate calculations involving very low power levels, although it is not widely used in practice and remains a rarely adopted unit in the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the centiwatt is rarely used in practical applications; power measurements are typically expressed in watts or subunits like milliwatts and microwatts. It may be encountered in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical discussions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 dekawatt in centiwatt?
1 dekawatt (daW) = 1000 centiwatt (cW).
How do you convert dekawatt to centiwatt?
