Questions about used 3000 kVA substation transformers

How many amps is a 3000 kVA transformer?

A 3000 kVA three-phase transformer carries 3,608 A at 480 V, 2,887 A at 600 V and 416 A at 4.16 kV at full load. Full-load current is the rating divided by √3 times the line-to-line voltage: 3,000,000 VA ÷ (1.732 × 480 V) = 3,608 A.
