Convert kilowatt to dekawatt
Please provide values below to convert kilowatt [kW] to dekawatt [daW], or Convert dekawatt to kilowatt.
1 kW = 100 daW. To convert kilowatt to dekawatt, multiply the value by 100; to go the other way, divide by it (1 daW = 0.01 kW). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 kW = 100 daW
- 1 daW = 0.01 kW
- 10 kW = 1000 daW
- 100 kW = 10000 daW
How to Convert Kilowatt to Dekawatt
1 kW = 100 daW
Example: convert 15 kW to daW:
15 kW = 15 × 100 daW = 1500 daW

Kilowatt
A kilowatt (kW) is a unit of power equal to 1,000 watts, used to measure the rate of energy transfer or consumption.
History/Origin
The kilowatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide a practical unit for measuring larger power outputs, especially in engineering and electrical contexts, and has been widely adopted since the 20th century.
Current Use
The kilowatt is commonly used today to specify the power output of engines, electrical appliances, and power generation facilities, as well as in billing for electricity consumption and capacity ratings.
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 It may appear in specialized technical fields or historical references.
