Convert volt ampere to dekawatt
Please provide values below to convert volt ampere [V*A] to dekawatt [daW], or Convert dekawatt to volt ampere.
1 V*A = 0.1 daW. To convert volt ampere to dekawatt, multiply the value by 0.1; to go the other way, divide by it (1 daW = 10 V*A). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 V*A = 0.1 daW
- 1 daW = 10 V*A
- 10 V*A = 1 daW
- 100 V*A = 10 daW
How to Convert Volt Ampere to Dekawatt
1 V*A = 0.1 daW
Example: convert 15 V*A to daW:
15 V*A = 15 × 0.1 daW = 1.5 daW

Volt Ampere
Volt ampere (V·A) is a unit of apparent power in an electrical circuit, representing the product of voltage and current without considering power factor.
History/Origin
The volt ampere was established as a unit of apparent power with the development of electrical engineering, particularly as a measure in alternating current (AC) systems. It is derived from the SI units volt (V) and ampere (A).
Current Use
Volt ampere is used to quantify apparent power in AC electrical systems, especially in the context of transformers, generators, and power supplies, to assess capacity and performance.
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 It may appear in specialized technical fields or historical references.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 volt ampere in dekawatt?
1 volt ampere (V*A) = 0.1 dekawatt (daW).
How do you convert volt ampere to dekawatt?
Multiply the volt ampere value by 0.1. For example, 25 V*A × 0.1 = 2.5 daW.
What is 10 volt ampere in dekawatt?
10 V*A = 1 daW.
Which unit is larger, the volt ampere or the dekawatt?
The dekawatt is the larger unit: 1 V*A equals only 0.1 daW.
