Dekawatt (daW) Unit Definition
The dekawatt otherwise referred to as the decawatt (daW) is a multiple of the unit watt (W) for power. The International System of Units (SI) defines the prefix deka (da) as a factor of ten. Per this definition, one dekawatt is 10 watts. The dekawatt is represented by the symbol daW.
