Convert hectowatt to dekawatt
Please provide values below to convert hectowatt [hW] to dekawatt [daW], or Convert dekawatt to hectowatt.
1 hW = 10 daW. To convert hectowatt to dekawatt, multiply the value by 10; to go the other way, divide by it (1 daW = 0.1 hW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 hW = 10 daW
- 1 daW = 0.1 hW
- 10 hW = 100 daW
- 100 hW = 1000 daW
How to Convert Hectowatt to Dekawatt
1 hW = 10 daW
Example: convert 15 hW to daW:
15 hW = 15 × 10 daW = 150 daW

Hectowatt
A hectowatt (hW) is a unit of power equal to 100 watts.
History/Origin
The hectowatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide larger units of power measurement, though it is rarely used in practice today.
Current Use
The hectowatt is seldom used in modern contexts; power is typically expressed in watts or kilowatts, but it may appear in specific engineering or scientific applications requiring larger units.
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 It may appear in specialized technical fields or historical references.
