How the formula works
Both hectowatt and deciwatt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in hectowatts by 1000 to get deciwatts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a deciwatt value by 0.001 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 Deciwatt (dW)?
A Deciwatt (dW) equals 1/10 watt(s), a scaled unit of electrical power used for deci-scale electrical work.
How do I convert hectowatts to deciwatts?
Multiply the hectowatt value by 1000 to get the equivalent in deciwatts. For example, 5 hW × 1000 = 5000 dW.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 1000 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert deciwatts back to hectowatts?
Yes. Divide the deciwatt value by 1000, or multiply it by 0.001, to get hectowatts.
