Let's adorn their incommensurable dimensions with some dimensioend quantities that bring them a step closer to commensurability. Here are some dimensioned of a 10,000AMP welding rig:
*Voltage* If current is the amount of electricity flowing, then Voltage (measured in Volts) is the pressure or force that's causing the flow. A good analogy is water flowing through a pipe. A larger voltage will result in greater water pressure, which will cause more water (current) to flow through the pipe. Using the transformer example above, after the 200 Amps at 500 Volts on the primary passes through the transformer coils, the secondary amperage increases to 10,000 Amps, but the voltage actually drops to 10 Volts. This decrease in voltage occurs because the amount of power coming out of a transformer isn't actually increased, but more accurately exchanged. *Power* Power is Voltage multiplied by Current, and is measured in Watts, or KVA (KVA stands for Kilo-Volt-Amperes. Watts and KVA will be used interchangeably in this text). This means that the amount of current flowing times the pressure that's causing it to flow equals the amount of power generated. A basic law to bear in mind is that the power going into a transformer will always equal the power coming out of it. Returning to the transformer example, 200 Amps coming in at 500 Volts (200 x 500 = 100,000 KVA) on the primary with a 50 to 1 turns ratio in the transformer will be converted into 10,000 Amps at 10 Volts (10,000 x 10 = 100,000 KVA) going out. As the math illustrates, the results are the same. The initial and final amperage and voltage may be different, but because the ratio is the same, the total amount of power is also the same. http://www.livco.com/UMchapter1.pdf Correcting their units from KVA to VA (yes, livco.com did make an arithmetic error) we have 100kW power consumed by a 10,000AMP welding rig. OK, so we have two quantities now that are commensurable: 10MW and 100kW or 1e7W and 1e5W for a factor of 100 gain IFF the duration of the input and output are the same. Are they? Keep in mind a 10ms pulse at 10MW has the same energy content as a 1s pulse at 100kW.
