Convert volt ampere to deciwatt
Please provide values below to convert volt ampere [V*A] to deciwatt [dW], or Convert deciwatt to volt ampere.
1 V*A = 10 dW. To convert volt ampere to deciwatt, multiply the value by 10; to go the other way, divide by it (1 dW = 0.1 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 = 10 dW
- 1 dW = 0.1 V*A
- 10 V*A = 100 dW
- 100 V*A = 1000 dW
How to Convert Volt Ampere to Deciwatt
1 V*A = 10 dW
Example: convert 15 V*A to dW:
15 V*A = 15 × 10 dW = 150 dW

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.
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.
