microwatt to decawatt
Convert microwatt (μW) to decawatt (daW). Use an editable power converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 μW = 1e-7 daW
Conversion formula
One microwatt equals 1e-7 decawatt. Multiply your value in microwatt by this factor to get decawatt. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 microwatt:5 × 1e-7 = 5e-7 daW

About these measurements
Power is the rate of energy transfer.
The base reference used here is the watt. One microwatt is 0.000001 base units; one decawatt is 10 base units.
Important distinctions
Mechanical horsepower and metric horsepower are distinct units.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
