Questions about used 15 MVA substation transformers

How many amps is a 15 MVA transformer?

A 15 MVA three-phase transformer carries 2,082 A at 4.16 kV, 694 A at 12.47 kV and 628 A at 13.8 kV at full load. Full-load current is the rating divided by √3 times the line-to-line voltage: 15,000,000 VA ÷ (1.732 × 4160 V) = 2,082 A.
