Questions about used 1000 kVA substation transformers

How many amps is a 1000 kVA transformer?

A 1000 kVA three-phase transformer carries 1,203 A at 480 V, 962 A at 600 V and 139 A at 4.16 kV at full load. Full-load current is the rating divided by √3 times the line-to-line voltage: 1,000,000 VA ÷ (1.732 × 480 V) = 1,203 A.
