What does one deciwatt measure?

A deciwatt measures power equal to one tenth of a watt and is used for specifying small power outputs.

Where is metric horsepower commonly used?

Metric horsepower is commonly applied in rating engines of cars and motorcycles in many European and Asian countries.

Why are converted values from deciwatt to metric horsepower very small?

Because one metric horsepower equals 735.49875 watts, which is much larger than a deciwatt, the converted values are typically very small.
