Some higher end induction cooktops in the EU are three-phase power around 400V like the Bosch PXX975DC1E which uses 11kW max. Not sure what btu output that is though.
That’s true, but the vast majority of hear with those high BTU woks literally just go completely around the side and heat up the air around the wok and is not transferred to the pan. They are just the only good way to give high, encompassing heat on all sides.
BTU output transferred to the pan is likely similar.
