Questions about used 36 MVA substation transformers

How many amps is a 36 MVA transformer?

A 36 MVA three-phase transformer carries 4,996 A at 4.16 kV, 1,667 A at 12.47 kV and 1,506 A at 13.8 kV at full load. Full-load current is the rating divided by √3 times the line-to-line voltage: 36,000,000 VA ÷ (1.732 × 4160 V) = 4,996 A.
