About Converting Decawatts to Deciwatts
Decawatt and Deciwatt both describe power output, and the conversion is a routine part of comparing an engine or motor's spec sheet across countries that use different power units. Specifically: Decawatt is 10 watt units, and deciwatt is 0.1 watt units.
Formula
deciwatts = decawatts × 100
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 decawatt equals 10 base units, and 1 deciwatt equals 0.1 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct decawatt-to-deciwatt factor of 100.
Simple example
1 daW × 100 = 100 dW
1 decawatt = 100 deciwatts.
Real-world example
100 daW × 100 = 10,000 dW
100 decawatts = 10,000 deciwatts.
Conversion table
| Decawatt (daW) | Deciwatt (dW) |

| 1 daW | 100 dW |
| 10 daW | 1,000 dW |
| 100 daW | 10,000 dW |
| 500 daW | 50,000 dW |
| 1,000 daW | 100,000 dW |
| 5,000 daW | 500,000 dW |

Frequently asked questions
How many deciwatts are in 1 decawatt?
1 decawatt equals 100 deciwatts, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert decawatt to deciwatt?
Multiply the decawatt value by 100. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert deciwatt back to decawatt?
Use the reverse factor: 1 deciwatt equals 0.01 decawatts. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a decawatt?
Decawatt (daW) is a unit of power.
What is a deciwatt?
Deciwatt (dW) is a unit of power.
Is the decawatt to deciwatt conversion exact?
Yes. Both decawatt and deciwatt are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 100 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
