Questions about used 54 MVA substation transformers

How many amps is a 54 MVA transformer?

A 54 MVA three-phase transformer carries 7,494 A at 4.16 kV, 2,500 A at 12.47 kV and 2,259 A at 13.8 kV at full load. Full-load current is the rating divided by √3 times the line-to-line voltage: 54,000,000 VA ÷ (1.732 × 4160 V) = 7,494 A.
