Questions about used 500 kVA pad-mount transformers

How many amps is a 500 kVA transformer?

A 500 kVA three-phase transformer carries 601 A at 480 V, 1,388 A at 208 V and 481 A at 600 V at full load. Full-load current is the rating divided by √3 times the line-to-line voltage: 500,000 VA ÷ (1.732 × 480 V) = 601 A.
