4000 kVA substation transformers

A 4000 kVA three-phase transformer carries 4,811 A at 480 V, 3,849 A at 600 V and 555 A at 4.16 kV at full load.

Every unit is tested before it ships and delivered by us.

Full-load current of a 4000 kVA transformer

Three-phase, at the usual line-to-line voltages: the rating in VA divided by √3 and the voltage.

Questions about used 4000 kVA substation transformers

How many amps is a 4000 kVA transformer?

A 4000 kVA three-phase transformer carries 4,811 A at 480 V, 3,849 A at 600 V and 555 A at 4.16 kV at full load. Full-load current is the rating divided by √3 times the line-to-line voltage: 4,000,000 VA ÷ (1.732 × 480 V) = 4,811 A.
