How to use this Decibel-watts to Megawatts Converter 🤔

Follow these steps to convert given power from the units of Decibel-watts to the units of Megawatts.

1. Enter the input Decibel-watts value in the text field.
2. The calculator converts the given Decibel-watts into Megawatts in realtime ⌚ using the conversion formula, and displays under the Megawatts label. You do not need to click any button. If the input changes, Megawatts value is re-calculated, just like that.
3. You may copy the resulting Megawatts value using the Copy button.
4. To view a detailed step by step calculation of the conversion, click on the View Calculation button.
5. You can also reset the input by clicking on Reset button present below the input field.

What is the Formula to convert Decibel-watts to Megawatts?

The formula to convert given power from Decibel-watts to Megawatts is:

Power_(Megawatts) = Math.pow(10,(Power_{(Decibel-watts)}/10)) / 1e6

Substitute the given value of power in decibel-watts, i.e., Power_{(Decibel-watts)} in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the power in megawatts, i.e., Power_(Megawatts).

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider that a radio station transmitter operates at 50 decibel-watts (dBW).
Convert this power level from decibel-watts to Megawatts.

Answer:

Given:

The power in decibel-watts is:

Power_{(Decibel-watts)} = 50

Formula:

The formula to convert power from decibel-watts to megawatts is:

Power_(Megawatts) = Math.pow(10,(Power_{(Decibel-watts)}/10)) / 1e6

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Power_{(Decibel-watts)} = 50 in the above formula.

Power_(Megawatts) = Math.pow(10,(50/10)) / 1e6

Power_(Megawatts) = 0.1

Final Answer:

Therefore, 50 dBW is equal to 0.1 MW.

The power is 0.1 MW, in megawatts.

2

Consider that a satellite transmits signals at 40 decibel-watts (dBW).
Convert this power level from decibel-watts to Megawatts.

Answer:

Given:

The power in decibel-watts is:

Power_{(Decibel-watts)} = 40

Formula:

The formula to convert power from decibel-watts to megawatts is:

Power_(Megawatts) = Math.pow(10,(Power_{(Decibel-watts)}/10)) / 1e6

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Power_{(Decibel-watts)} = 40 in the above formula.

Power_(Megawatts) = Math.pow(10,(40/10)) / 1e6

Power_(Megawatts) = 0.01

Final Answer:

Therefore, 40 dBW is equal to 0.01 MW.

The power is 0.01 MW, in megawatts.

Decibel-watts

A decibel watt (dBW) is a unit of power level relative to one watt, expressed in decibels. It is commonly used in telecommunications and audio engineering to describe power levels in a logarithmic scale.

Megawatts

A megawatt (MW) is equal to one million watts. This unit is often used to measure the output of power plants or the power consumption of large-scale facilities. It is a standard unit in the field of energy generation and consumption.
