Convert hectowatt to deciwatt
Please provide values below to convert hectowatt [hW] to deciwatt [dW], or Convert deciwatt to hectowatt.
1 hW = 1000 dW. To convert hectowatt to deciwatt, multiply the value by 1000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 dW = 0.001 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 = 1000 dW
- 1 dW = 0.001 hW
- 10 hW = 10000 dW
- 100 hW = 100000 dW
How to Convert Hectowatt to Deciwatt
1 hW = 1000 dW
Example: convert 15 hW to dW:
15 hW = 15 × 1000 dW = 15000 dW

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.
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 hectowatt in deciwatt?
1 hectowatt (hW) = 1000 deciwatt (dW).
How do you convert hectowatt to deciwatt?
