Looking at the "efficiency" side of the equation is simple here too:

Another case of writing without knowing, I see.

The power consumptions you cite are the TOTAL values for those transmitters,
not of the RF power amplifiers alone. The total value includes the exciter,
driver(s), power supply losses, control circuits, and RF combining losses,
as well as power for the internal cooling fans. The PA modules have 80% or
better efficiency, by themselves.

The reason I know is that I was the author of those specs.
