A dekahenry (daH) is an SI-derived unit of electrical inductance equal to 10 henry, typically used for large inductances in power systems and heavy machinery.

When should I use centihenry units?

Centihenry (cH) is ideal for small inductors, tuned circuits, and RF coils where inductance values are much smaller than those measured in henries.

How do I convert from dekahenry to centihenry?

Multiply the value in dekahenry by 1000 to obtain the equivalent inductance in centihenry.
