How the formula works
Both watt and decawatt measure the same physical quantity, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Multiply a value in watts by 0.1 to get decawatts. To reverse the conversion, multiply a decawatt value by 10 to get back to watts.
Frequently asked questions
What is Watt (W)?
The watt (W) is the SI unit of power, equal to one joule of energy transferred per second.
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 watts to decawatts?
Multiply the watt value by 0.1 to get the equivalent in decawatts. For example, 5 W × 0.1 = 0.5 daW.
Is this conversion exact?
Yes. Both units use fixed, defined scale factors, so the factor 0.1 is an exact, non-rounded value.
Can I convert decawatts back to watts?
Yes. Divide the decawatt value by 0.1, or multiply it by 10, to get watts.
