Questions about used 16 MVA substation transformers

How many amps is a 16 MVA transformer?

A 16 MVA three-phase transformer carries 2,221 A at 4.16 kV, 741 A at 12.47 kV and 669 A at 13.8 kV at full load. Full-load current is the rating divided by √3 times the line-to-line voltage: 16,000,000 VA ÷ (1.732 × 4160 V) = 2,221 A.
