Convert horsepower (electric) to deciwatt
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (electric) [hp (electric)] to deciwatt [dW], or Convert deciwatt to horsepower (electric).
1 hp (electric) = 7460 dW. To convert horsepower (electric) to deciwatt, multiply the value by 7460; to go the other way, divide by it (1 dW = 0.000134048257373 hp (electric)). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 hp (electric) = 7460 dW
- 1 dW = 0.000134048257373 hp (electric)
- 10 hp (electric) = 74600 dW
- 100 hp (electric) = 746000 dW
How to Convert Horsepower (Electric) to Deciwatt
1 hp (electric) = 7460 dW
Example: convert 15 hp (electric) to dW:
15 hp (electric) = 15 × 7460 dW = 111900 dW

Horsepower (Electric)
Electric horsepower (hp) is a unit of power used to measure the rate at which electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy or work, equivalent to approximately 746 watts.
History/Origin
The electric horsepower was developed as an adaptation of the mechanical horsepower to quantify electrical power output, especially in electric motors and generators. It became a standard unit in electrical engineering to express the power of electric motors and appliances.
Current Use
Electric horsepower is used primarily in specifying the power of electric motors, generators, and other electrical devices, particularly in industries where electrical power measurement is essential for performance and efficiency assessments.
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.
