About Converting Deciwatts to Decawatts
Deciwatt and Decawatt 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: Deciwatt is 0.1 watt units, and decawatt is 10 watt units.
Formula
decawatts = deciwatts × 0.01
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 deciwatt equals 0.1 base units, and 1 decawatt equals 10 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct deciwatt-to-decawatt factor of 0.01.
Simple example
1 dW × 0.01 = 0.01 daW
1 deciwatt = 0.01 decawatts.
Real-world example
100 dW × 0.01 = 1 daW
100 deciwatts = 1 decawatt.

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