How the formula works
Both hectowatt and centiwatt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in hectowatts by 10000 to get centiwatts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a centiwatt value by 0.0001 to get back to hectowatts.
Frequently asked questions
What is Hectowatt (hW)?
A Hectowatt (hW) equals 100 watt(s), a scaled unit of electrical power used for hecto-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 hectowatts to centiwatts?
Multiply the hectowatt value by 10000 to get the equivalent in centiwatts. For example, 5 hW × 10000 = 50000 cW.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 10000 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert centiwatts back to hectowatts?
Yes. Divide the centiwatt value by 10000, or multiply it by 0.0001, to get hectowatts.
