Questions about used 1500 kVA substation transformers

How many amps is a 1500 kVA transformer?

A 1500 kVA three-phase transformer carries 1,804 A at 480 V, 1,443 A at 600 V and 208 A at 4.16 kV at full load. Full-load current is the rating divided by √3 times the line-to-line voltage: 1,500,000 VA ÷ (1.732 × 480 V) = 1,804 A.
