Convert dekawatt to deciwatt
Please provide values below to convert dekawatt [daW] to deciwatt [dW], or Convert deciwatt to dekawatt.
1 daW = 100 dW. To convert dekawatt to deciwatt, multiply the value by 100; to go the other way, divide by it (1 dW = 0.01 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 = 100 dW
- 1 dW = 0.01 daW
- 10 daW = 1000 dW
- 100 daW = 10000 dW
How to Convert Dekawatt to Deciwatt
1 daW = 100 dW
Example: convert 15 daW to dW:
15 daW = 15 × 100 dW = 1500 dW

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 It may appear in specialized technical fields or historical references.
Deciwatt
A deciwatt (dW) is a unit of power equal to one-tenth of a watt, used to measure small amounts of power.
History/Origin
The deciwatt was introduced as part of the metric system's decimal prefixes to provide convenient submultiples of the watt, though it is rarely used in practice.
Current Use
Deciwatt is rarely used in modern applications; it may appear in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical calculations involving small power levels.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 dekawatt in deciwatt?
1 dekawatt (daW) = 100 deciwatt (dW).
How do you convert dekawatt to deciwatt?
