Convert deciwatt to dekawatt
Please provide values below to convert deciwatt [dW] to dekawatt [daW], or Convert dekawatt to deciwatt.
1 dW = 0.01 daW. To convert deciwatt to dekawatt, multiply the value by 0.01; to go the other way, divide by it (1 daW = 100 dW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 dW = 0.01 daW
- 1 daW = 100 dW
- 10 dW = 0.1 daW
- 100 dW = 1 daW
How to Convert Deciwatt to Dekawatt
1 dW = 0.01 daW
Example: convert 15 dW to daW:
15 dW = 15 × 0.01 daW = 0.15 daW

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.
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 It may appear in specialized technical fields or historical references.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 deciwatt in dekawatt?
1 deciwatt (dW) = 0.01 dekawatt (daW).
How do you convert deciwatt to dekawatt?
Multiply the deciwatt value by 0.01. For example, 25 dW × 0.01 = 0.25 daW.
What is 10 deciwatt in dekawatt?
10 dW = 0.1 daW.
Which unit is larger, the deciwatt or the dekawatt?
The dekawatt is the larger unit: 1 dW equals only 0.01 daW.
