How the formula works
Both centiwatt and megawatt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in centiwatts by 1.000000e-08 to get megawatts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a megawatt value by 1.000000e+08 to get back to centiwatts.
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 Megawatt (MW)?
A Megawatt (MW) equals 1e+6 watt(s), a scaled unit of electrical power used for mega-scale electrical work.
How do I convert centiwatts to megawatts?
Multiply the centiwatt value by 1.000000e-08 to get the equivalent in megawatts. For example, 5 cW × 1.000000e-08 = 5.000000e-08 MW.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 1.000000e-08 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert megawatts back to centiwatts?
Yes. Divide the megawatt value by 1.000000e-08, or multiply it by 1.000000e+08, to get centiwatts.
