Questions about used 5000 kVA dry-type transformers

How many amps is a 5000 kVA transformer?

A 5000 kVA three-phase transformer carries 6,014 A at 480 V, 4,811 A at 600 V and 694 A at 4.16 kV at full load. Full-load current is the rating divided by √3 times the line-to-line voltage: 5,000,000 VA ÷ (1.732 × 480 V) = 6,014 A.
