Frequently asked questions
What is Deciwatt (dW)?
A Deciwatt (dW) equals 1/10 watt(s), a scaled unit of electrical power used for deci-scale electrical work.
What is Centiwatt (cW)?
A Centiwatt (cW) equals 1/100 watt(s), a scaled unit of electrical power used for centi-scale electrical work.
How do I convert deciwatts to centiwatts?
Multiply the deciwatt value by 10 to get the equivalent in centiwatts. For example, 5 dW × 10 = 50 cW.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 10 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert centiwatts back to deciwatts?
Yes. Divide the centiwatt value by 10, or multiply it by 0.1, to get deciwatts.
