It is not possible to answer you question, because volts and watts are not comparable. You question would be like asking, "Is 700 pounds heavier than 14 gallons?"
Watts are a measurement of power. Volts are a measure of electrical potential. Comparing watts to voltage is incorrect.
If your circuit has 14 volts and is drawing 50 amps of current you have a total power of 700 watts.

How do you calculate amperage when given the values of watts and volts?
With an instrument called a multimeter. The single meter incorporates within it a volt meter, an ohm meter and an amp meter. For higher amperages a clamp on amp meter is recommended as the circuit does not have to be opened to take a reading.
What are the running watts compared to the starting watts?
When you first turn on a motor it is starting from a static position and more current is required to get the motor up to speed (Starting current) than to keep it running (running current). Since watts equals amps times voltage you can see the difference in wattage is related to current. If you look at watts as work being done it is obvious that it requires more work to get the motor running than to keep it running.
How many watts can be put on a 20 amp 208 volt circuit breaker?
A 20 amp circuit breaker at 208 volts can handle up to 4160 watts (20 amps x 208 volts = 4160 watts). This is calculated by multiplying the amperage by the voltage to determine the maximum wattage capacity of the circuit.
How many amps is 8500 watts generator?
To find the amperage of a generator, you can use the formula: Amps = Watts / Volts. Assuming a standard voltage of 120V for household generators, you can calculate the amperage as: 8500 Watts / 120 Volts = 70.83 Amps.
How many amps does a 12 volt 600 watt transformer use at 120 volts?
A transformer does not use, it transforms voltage from one value to another. The output amperage is governed by the connected load. If the load wattage is higher than the wattage rating of the transformer then either the primary or secondary fuse will blow or the transformer will burn up if the fusing is of the wrong sizing. The maximum primary amperage can be found by using the following equation, Amps = Watts/Volts, A = W/E = 600/120 = 5 amps. The same equation is used for the calculating the maximum secondary amperage, A = W/E = 600/12 = 50 amps.
