Questions about used 25 MVA substation transformers

How many amps is a 25 MVA transformer?

A 25 MVA three-phase transformer carries 3,470 A at 4.16 kV, 1,157 A at 12.47 kV and 1,046 A at 13.8 kV at full load. Full-load current is the rating divided by √3 times the line-to-line voltage: 25,000,000 VA ÷ (1.732 × 4160 V) = 3,470 A.
