Frequently asked questions
What is Centiwatt (cW)?
A Centiwatt (cW) equals 1/100 watt(s), a scaled unit of electrical power used for centi-scale electrical work.
What is Decawatt (daW)?
A Decawatt (daW) equals 10 watt(s), a scaled unit of electrical power used for deca-scale electrical work.
How do I convert centiwatts to decawatts?
Multiply the centiwatt value by 0.001 to get the equivalent in decawatts. For example, 5 cW × 0.001 = 0.005 daW.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 0.001 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert decawatts back to centiwatts?
Yes. Divide the decawatt value by 0.001, or multiply it by 1000, to get centiwatts.
